Dylan McHugh's consistent excellence has been a huge factor in Galway’s march to a second All-Ireland final in three years
Corofin defender’s consistent excellence has been a huge factor in the Tribesmen’s march to a second All-Ireland final in three yearsDylan McHugh’s latest man of the match performance against Donegal in the All-Ireland may not only have taken him another major step towards a first All Star award, but also pushed the Galway wing-back further among the contenders for the Footballer of the Year award for 2024.
The fact that he couldn’t nail down a starting place in Corofin’s star-studded line-up at the time made a county call-up even less likely.“I just saw something in him that I liked,” said Galway manager Pádraic Joyce. “He’s a brilliant, brilliant fella who has got himself into unbelievable shape.” Dylan McHugh: 'I remember thinking at 23, I was too old to ever play for Galway, which is kind of funny looking back now.'

“The way the All-Ireland holiday was, we were leaving the Monday, the following day, after the county final. So, I kinda just said to myself and herself that if we lost the county final, we’ll go, and if we win the county final, we’ll stay.
