The Legends Tour with Cyril Farrell

Cyril was at the forefront of the Galway hurling breakthrough having been appointed Galway Senior Manager in 1980, the year Galway went on to win their first senior title since 1923. This success was to herald a new hurling superpower as Galway went on to contest six finals under Farrell’s guidance, four in-a-row between 1985 and 1988 and winning back-to-back All-Ireland titles in 1987 and 1988.
