Bergin out for four months

I just think that the odds have tipped against Galway lifting any major trophies this season with the news that Joe Bergin will be out for the next four months as he requires surgery on the Achilles he damaged against Mayo at the weekend.
I hate to see good players ruled out of the championship, that’s the time of the year when you most want to see the top players at their peak.
The championship had been robbed in recent seasons of several of Tyrone’s top players, which transformed a great team into a fairly average side.
Galway have been showing some signs of a revival this season but mid field is a key area and Bergin will be a huge loss to the Tribesmen.
You can talk all you like about strength in depth but when you take a few key men out of most teams in the country they are rarely blessed with players who can bring almost as much to the game as the guy on the treatment table.
