Conor Hayes – who yesterday morning woke up for the final time as the last man to skipper a Galway side to the Liam MacCarthy cup — was in co-commentary.
“I am absolutely delighted that I will die a happy man now that I’m not the last man to captain a Galway team to win an All-Ireland senior title. We have a new one now and it’s David Burke,” he said.
