Jimmy Cooney Tribute on Galway Talks (Wednesday, 2nd August 2023)

After the sudden passing of All-Ireland winning Galway and Sarsfields hurler Jimmy Cooney on Monday evening, Galway Talks paid tribute to one of the legends of the county’s McCarthy Cup triumph in 1980.

Captain and manager that year Joe Connolly and Cyril Farrell, were joined by neighbour and Sarsfields hurler Tommy Fox, and Galway Bay FM’s Ollie Turner.

They were all chatting to Galway Bay FM’s Keith Finnegan.

‘Galway Talks with Keith Finnegan’ broadcasts every weekday morning from 9am on Galway Bay FM.
