It is never easy when you must face off against a team that has plenty of experience in winning the All-Ireland.
For Galway, five titles might seem like a relatively minor amount when you consider the esteem that follows the Tribesmen’s history but we have to remember that it was not until 2009 that Galway began participating in Leinster as opposed to the stroll through Connacht without any real test (this often was a downfall ironically).
