Having played in the All-Ireland decider last year, Gemma cant wait for Sundays final. Im really looking forward to the game, Gemma told The Echo. Galway are a very young team. We played them in the league this year and they beat us … but we have improved a lot since then. Training has gone great and it has shown in our performances when the games have been close. We are a more experienced side this year. A few younger players have been introduced into the team which has been a big boost. John OLeary has come on board as manager and he has also brought in a few fresh ideas which has been a big help, she concluded.
