Dressing-room reaction from the Galway hurlers after their All-Ireland final win over Limerick in 1980

The men who broke the mould: Galway ended 57-year famine against Limerick

They hadn’t won an All-Ireland since their first in 1923 and tasted defeat in nine finals in the interim. But the long-suffering Tribesmen had their day when defeating Limerick to capture Liam MacCarthy for just the second time. Joe Connolly’s “People of Galway, we love you” in an unforgettable captain’s speech, Joe McDonagh’s rendition of ‘The West’s Awake’, and a rare outpouring of emotion all added to an iconic win. We reproduce The Tuam Herald’s coverage of that historic afternoon for Cyril Farrell’s side in 1980.
