Glennon has quietly been one of Galway’s most important players this campaign.
Colossal in the semi-final, he scored three monstrous points from range while never neglecting his defensive duties, consistently winning battles with Darragh Fitzgibbon to close down one of Cork’s main men.
He also chipped in during the earlier league defeat to Limerick with a point from play.
The challenge now is containing Hegarty, who remains one of Limerick’s most explosive attacking threats when he gets on the ball and drives at defenders, almost singlehandedly dragging Limerick back into the semi-final against Clare.
Glennon’s willingness to break forward means this battle could swing both ways: if he wins primary possession and drives at Limerick, Galway can use him as an attacking weapon, but if Hegarty gets loose in the same zone, it opens a route straight through Galway’s half-back line.
I’m expecting sparks to fly from this two.
