  • Excellent Show

    This is a great show. Awesome for us Galway fans that are across the world. Especially love the commentary for the Footy games as I can’t watch live due to work and the time zone difference. 🍻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Galway U16 Camogie Manager Brian Griffin
Q: What are the key areas you want to tighten up before the next match against Kilkenny?
Discipline in defense to reduce frees, better execution under pressure, and ensuring players are mentally prepared to replicate the effort from the first game while improving on the small mistakes.
Galway U16 Camogie Manager Brian Griffin
Q: How would you describe the impact of the crowd and the atmosphere on the players during the final stretch?
The roar from Galway supporters gave the team a massive lift, keeping belief high and helping them push through the fatigue to push for a result.
Galway U16 Camogie Manager Brian Griffin
Q: Can you explain what decision-making or adjustments you felt were most critical at halftime to mount the comeback?
We focused on staying calm, backing our strengths, and making small, correctable adjustments rather than big changes; the players trusted the plan, pulled together, and found a way back into the game.
Sean Jansen and Dylan Tierney Martin Pre Munster
Q: Dylan, final one for me.
Dylan confirms the Tuesday grind remains intense but explains it's designed to push players mentally and physically, building a sharper edge for weekend matches.
Roscommon Manager Mark Dowd
Q: Galway Bay fm will present a totally different challenge than Mayo; how do you view that test?
We respect the opponent's experience, expect a strong challenge at Hyde Park, and prepare to respond with the same discipline and focus that has carried us through the league and early championship games.
