Sunday saw some tremendous scenes as Galway captain David Burke paid tribute to late hurling legend Tony Keady, who was man of the match in the Tribesmen's last All-Ireland victory [1988] but who passed away in August. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/904409780680347648 Keady's family celebrated the capture of the Liam MacCarthy Cup on the Croke Park pitch and Galway talisman Joe Canning made a point of staying close by when Burke was giving his victory speech. On Thursday evening, at 6:30pm, many of Galway's newly crowned All-Ireland champions will take part in a game organised to raise money for the Keady family. The match will take place at Kenny Park in Athenry and admission for hurling fans is €10. Current and former players - stars of Galway's hurling past - are set to feature and fans will hope to see these two bucks lining out for a puck about.
It sounds like a great evening and it will be good for the champions to blow off some cobwebs after a few nights' celebrations and song.
