It's just a few days short of a year since Sean Kelly played his first final of 2022 as he captained Galway to the FBD Connacht League.
There followed a Sigerson Cup final win with NUIG over UL the following month, then a Division Two League final against Roscommon in early April, which Galway lost with promotion already assured.
They turned the tables on Roscommon in the Connacht final in May and come late July they were contesting their first All-Ireland final in 21 years, where they were only denied by a late run of Kerry scores.
