There s no denying it – Auckland, especially the downtown area, gets some bad press. Much of it, unsurprisingly, is road-related.
Galway GAA legends to continue on call
January 22, 2021
A Galway flag flies proudly in the crowd
A number of Galway GAA legends are once again making themselves available to talk to those living alone or most in need at this very difficult time.
The GAA chat initiative was first introduced last April and proved hugely successful, particularly with those cocooning. Brendan Mulry of Irish Rural Link is managing the initiative again in association with Galway GAA, Paul Byrnes Media and support from the ‘Keep Well’ Resilience Campaign.
Throughout this latest lockdown a number of Galway football and hurling legends have all very kindly made themselves available to talk to GAA fans on the phone. They include: 3-time All-Ireland winning manager Cyril Farrell, 3-time All-Ireland winner Noel Lane and Joe Connolly who captained Galway to All-Ireland success in 1980 as well as All-Star footballer John Tobin.
