There has been plenty of change in the West this season, but new Galway manager Gerry Fahy knows he is taking charge of team within striking distance of TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship glory.
Rivals Mayo appointed former county player Michael Moyles as their manager last week; Sligo have another ex-county player and underage manager in charge in Anthony Brennan; and one of the most decorated Ladies footballers from the province, Diane O’Hora, has taken charge of Roscommon.
Galway were on the look-out for a new manager after Tim Rabbitt stepped aside following two years in charge of the team, but with one of his 2020 selectors stepping up, the pattern of appointing from within has continued in Galway.

Karen Kennedy was part of an historic panel of Dubliners that won a first TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship for the county back in 2010, and more than ten years on, she is at the heart of an even more important team.
The former Naomh Mearnóg and Dublin player is a public health nurse by trade, but since the outbreak of Covid-19 she has seen her role expand, most recently into the administering of coronavirus vaccines.
Kennedy is part of a HSE vaccination team operating in north Dublin city and county and much of their initial efforts have centred around care homes in the region. She was asked to lead a vaccination team on their recent appearance on The Late Late Show, where she was ‘honoured’ to give the vaccine to some frontline healthcare workers.
