Galway's senior ladies football manager Daniel Moynihan has praised the squad for turning their year around ahead of this Sunday’s All-Ireland final against Kerry in Croke Park (4.15pm).The Tribeswomen have won just five out of 12 competitive games in 2024 but found their groove in the business end of the championship to set up a first ever national decider against the Kingdom."Everybody needed to get behind it," commented Moynihan about the collective efforts of the group. "Everybody needed to believe that if we work together, we can do something together.
There was the tough days obviously with the losses that we were picking up."The players kept the faith and that’s down to them and the mindset they have and the capabilities they have of players.
They’ve been fantastic for me this year."Despite accounting for Dublin and Cork in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively, Kerry will present a tough challenge as they have been consistent contenders recently and played in the last two All-Ireland finals even if they haven’t won the Brendan Martin Cup since 1993.
They beat Galway 5-11 to 1-10 in last year’s league final."We played them down in Killarney (Kerry won 2-11 to 0-12) in the latter stages of the league," added the Ballinasloe man who took over the county’s senior set-up last winter."Kerry are a fantastic team.
