1. THE DEFENSIVE BATTLE
In order to counteract the attacking
threat of the opposition both teams
employed a very distinctive defensive
system. When on the defensive both
Dublin and Galway regularly had
12 or 13 players in their own half of
the pitch. Both defensive units were
ferocious in their commitment to win
the ball. Due to the weather, underfoot
conditions were challenging and there
were more fumbles than usual. This
resulted in defenders pouncing on
any loose ball. Generally speaking the
two defences nullified the opposition
attacking threats. With minimal
chances presenting themselves it came
down to which side converted more of
their scoring opportunities.
