Joy as Kilkenny and Kerry icon inducted into Hall of Fame
The Munster legend has been at home in Kilkenny for many years
Munster and Irish legend Mick Galwey was inducted into the Munster Rugby Hall of Fame last week, much to the delight of his many friends in his native Kerry and adopted home of Kilkenny.
Galwey made more than 100 appearances for the province between 1987 and 2003. He also donned the Irish and British & Irish Lions jerseys.
“Mick has been a great friend to Kilkenny RFC over many years and can often be seen in Foulkstown supporting matches and attending club events,” Kilkenny RFC posted in tribute.
“He also spent a season playing for Kilkenny RFC after bringing his outstanding professional career to a close.
“Capped 41 times for Ireland and forever associated with Munster and Shannon RFC, few could be more deserving of this prestigious honour,” they added.
“A proud Kerry man to his core, Mick is now very much at home in Kilkenny.
“Congratulations, Mick, from everyone at Kilkenny RFC. A honour!”
