This Sunday afternoon will be a special one for Cumann Peile Maigh Cuilinn as they take on Glen from Derry in the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Semi-Final at Croke Park (Throw-In 3.30pm).
Covid regulations meant that they could not take part in the All-Ireland Series in 2020 which means this is their first attempt at making the All-Ireland Club Final and in doing so becoming Galway's tenth finalists since the competition began in 1971.
Bainisteoir Maigh Cuilinn Don Connellan has been speaking to Jonathan Higgins.
