For the next few weeks, Galway Bay FM will be looking back at some of the recent glory days celebrated by the county.
Episode 3 goes back to 2013 and the Tribeswomen finally ending years of hurt by the landing their second ever O’Duffy Cup, and first since 1996.
Ailish O’Reilly struck the all
important goal but the county celebrated with Therese Maher as after 17 years,
the county’s stalwart signed off her legendary career with the one title that
always eluded her.
It was the second part of a
historic day for Galway camogie after the intermediates won the Jack McGrath
Cup just two hours beforehand.
Relive the seniors’ success with Galway Bay FM’s commentary team of Darren Kelly and Imelda Hobbins.
