Kildare v Galway. Super 8s Round 2. 22 July 2pm #newbridgeornowhere

[galwayman]

Would totally agree that that - think we need an injection of energy and slattery, McNally and Kelly should all be in the reckoning

I seem to recall Niall Kelly kicking 5 points from play against us in Croker last year in the division 2 league final.

[GalwayBayBoy]

One change for Galway, Peter Cooke in for Conroy as expected. Couple of positional switches also

1. Ruairi Lavelle

2. Declan Kyne

3. Seán Andy Ó Ceallaigh

4. Eoghan Kerin

5. Cathal Sweeney

6. Gareth Bradshaw

7. Johnny Heaney

8. Peter Cooke

9. Thomas Flynn

10. Michael Daly

11. Shane Walsh

12. Seán Kelly

13. Ian Burke

14. Damien Comer

15. Eamonn Brannigan

For all the bellyaching about the youth and inexperience of the Kerry lads after last week, that is actually a very young Galway side now that Conroy is off it due to his injury. Bradshaw is the only remaining old head really. 4 of last year's U-21's in there.

Youth is over-rated. As was very over-rated by the media this year in regards Kerry. Dublin are continuously blooding a trickle of youth and there is never a headline. You always need a mix of youth and experience to win the Big battles.

Average age of that Galway team would be 24 what was the average age of the Galway team in 1998? if i recall they had plenty of players that came from the AI minor finalists and Hogan cup winning team from the mid 90s.

[Syferus]

The average age of nearly all teams have gone down in recent years. We have had a perpetually 'young' team for a decade now. The danger is always assuming there's ever going to be more than is there already. This sport is designed to turn men with jobs and lives away from it.

Think Kildare might win this.

[Blowitupref]

M Daly off after 10 mins he doesn't have much luck with injuries. Good game so far serious pace to it. Galway 0-4 Kildare 0-3

[joemamas]

Excellent game so far, that point by comer was imo the point of the championship

[Shamrock Shore]

Is the Kildare goalie wearing his gardening gloves?

[inthrough]

Hugely enjoyable game in a great atmosphere

Hugely enjoyable game in a great atmosphere

It sounds like a random League of Ireland tie?

[Jinxy]

Proper game here.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Galway somewhat at sea, so far.

[High Fielder]

Grand game in fairness. Way too innocent to be of any consequence though.
