Obviously there are good players from all parts Galway and the bigger population is with 10-15 miles of city ,, but on most if not all Galway 9 senior all Ireland's the north board would have definitely I'd say produce the most forwards , even last : 2 one 98 and 01 u had Donnellan , Fallon savage Padraig and Tommy Joyce Joe Bergen shay Walsh ,, not sure whst it is but most successful all Ireland winning senior teams have north Galway forwards ,

Replying To Galwayman67420:  "Is the tide turning in regards to the home of Galway football? Is it time to relocate the centre of excellence to somewhere in the city/west of the county?
Minor A winners - west board team (2 of them in final)
Minor A shield winners - west board team ( hammered Tuam "the home of football" in the final)
Minor B winners - west board team
Minor B shield west board team
Under 19 A - oranmore will win again by the looks of it
Under 19 B - breathnachs also look to be too strong for the competition in B I believe they probably should be in A but that's besides the point.

Really shows how there is huge work being done back west underage and it's paying off."
A very valid point there. Will be interesting to see how the senior team shapes up now the North Board High King has been dethroned.

The Galway team won as a team, not as a set of forwards. Yes there were excellent forwards on the 98 and 01 teams but they were well supplied and supported from midfield and the backs. Seán Óg scored the insurance point against Kildare and I doubt if Galway would have won without those great players at the back and Kevin Walsh at midfield. One of the best team scores in Croke Park, 2000, was the one scored by Declan Meehan - a wonder pass from his friend, the late Paul Clancy. They had that All Ireland won against Kerry if a certain forward had passed the ball to PJ who was in a better position. Kevin Walsh wasn't fit for the replay.
