'The Guinness still tastes as good' - crowds relish long-awaited Galway return

It was wet and it would have been nice to see more people here, but it was still wonderful to be back.

After a dreary atmosphere behind closed doors in 2020, Galway welcomed 1,000 spectators back with open arms, ensuring at least some of the colour and excitement we're used to at the Connacht venue returned.

It was the first time paying customers passed through Galway's gates since October 28 in 2019, and the opportunity was taken with both hands by those lucky enough to secure a ticket.
