This is a young Galway team but there's nothing remarkable about that. GAA squads seems to look younger with each passing season - the Benjamin Button effect. A large part of the management game these days is instilling that belief in a set of young lads. Telling your pups they're better than their pups.
Roscommon's year promised so much but Galway are slowly remembering just who they are and what they are about. A footballing team that plays actual football and enjoys themselves doing it.
Gary Sice is the older head. He has been telling the likes of Danny Cummins, Damien Comer, Conroy and more that they have what it takes. Today, they proved him right.
The game was effectively over by half-time. 2-9 to 0-5 and both Sice and Cummins finding the net. Roscommon were having to score stunning points just to keep their side of the scoreboard moving.
John McStay's men started the second half brightly but points not goals were scored. Cummins found the net after 55 minutes for his second and the final nail in the Rossies' hopes.
The final whistle delivered Galway's 45th Connacht title and their first in eight years. They'll want more and are capable of going further than the quarter finals.
They're starting to catch on.
