Tommy Walsh believes Galway belief has gone reached new levels after another win over Kilkenny last weekend.
He says Galway have confidence in their own ability and have a fortress to protect in Pearse stadium.
Walsh was speaking on Thursday night’s OTB.
“I’d say their belief has gone up two or three notches. They still have the same physiques. They still have the same hurlers. They still have the same ability, but they seem to be saying this is my time now. ‘You’re up here in Pearse Stadium, trying to boss me around here today.’ That’s the attitude it looked like to me from the outside.
The Tribesmen beat one of their greatest rivals in Kilkenny by 1-22 to 2-11 last Sunday in Pearse Stadium.
Walsh believes a key part to their success is the control Micheal Donoghue’s side have over the fundamental aspects of their game. The former Kilkenny man says he was very impressed by the Galway team’s work rate and ability
“I love the fundamentals; the ability to win their own ball, the ability to score, the ability to hook and block, the ability to chase you man when you shouldn’t be chasing him when you should be giving up – They are my principles from the coaches and managers that have coached and managed me down through the years. That’s what I’ve learnt off them, and Galway had all of that last Sunday, and it was a joy to watch.”
Galway travel to Wexford Park this Saturday at 5pm.
