Murray and Cooney pounce late to keep  Thomas’ hopes alive

Murray was left out of the starting line-up because of a knee injury, but, after being introduced 13 minutes from time, he kicked the ball to the net in the 59th minute. Cooney followed up with a free to tie their Galway SHC semi-final in front of a huge attendance at Kenny Park in Athenry.

Joe Canning played the entire match at midfield for Portumna and looked to have wrapped up their spot in the final against Loughrea when he hit his 13th point three minutes from time. However, the champions’ late comeback foiled his efforts.
