Galway U-21s face ultimate test in Kingdom

NO exaggeration, Galway’s U-21 All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Kerry has the makings of being one of the best Gaelic football games of this calendar year.
It would be fitting if this were the case given it is the grade’s final year in its current format. As the Connacht and Munster champions prepare to travel to Cusack Park in Ennis for a 4.30 pm showdown on Saturday live on TG4, the stats do seem to back up the statement made in the opening stanza.
Galway shot the lights out with 9-43 in three provincial games, while Kerry scored 4-51 across the same number of games.
