Ciaran Kilduff Comments

“We’re really looking forward to our first game back after the break. We’ve had two great battles with Galway already this year, with very little between the teams in both games, so we’re expecting another tough one.

As always, we’ll be concentrating on ourselves, but we know in this league there are no easy games and we expect nothing different.

From a squad point of view, everyone who was available before the break is fit and ready to go. The long-term injuries like Norman Garbett and Connor Parsons are still sidelined, but aside from that, we’re in a good place.

We’re excited to get the second half of the season up and running and we’re hoping to go and put in a strong performance.”
