When Fiona Cubbard was sent home from an out-of-hours GP service for her daughter Megan, a niggling feeling kept her awake at night.

Inside Track with John McIntyreUntil last year, it had been a noose hanging around the neck of Galway footballers.

But that poor sequence of results for Galway came to a glorious end in 2024.

Galway must raise game for crunch round-robin tie

WAS it a modern-day aberration, or instead restoring the traditional championship relationship between Galway and Wexford hurlers? We will know a little bit more after the events at Pearse Stadium on Saturday (3:15pm). Up to the Leinster quarter-final in 2010, Galway had never beaten Wexford in championship hurling, losing all their previous seven encounters bar the 1976 drawn All-Ireland semi-final, with the Slaneysiders winning the replay.
