Galway relishing chance to square-up to Kerry
Galway skipper Paul Conroy has said his side are relishing the chance to take football’s aristocrats Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-finals after taking Donegal apart in the qualifiers.
The Tribesmen crushed Doneal 4-17 to 0-14 at Markieveicz Park to book their spot against the Kingdom, with Conroy saying his side are relishing the opportunity to take on the big boys.
“It was great to get the win, we needed it,” he said post-match. “We all know how disappointing the Connacht final was and we needed to prove a point that we aren't as bad as we were the last day.
“We didn't show it on the day, but it is nice to get back on the road. Getting to play Kerry in Croke Park is a great challenge, you will see where you are at.
“Definitely, it is going to be a massive challenge, they are one of the top teams in the country along with Dublin and Mayo. It is great to be there, though, you will really see where you are playing the likes of them.”
He added: “You have to be motivated after a performance like that (in losing to Roscommon in the Connacht final), it was a long week, it was a long two weeks actually. We couldn't wait to get out on to the pitch, I think we proved a bit. We will see where we are really at next week.”
