KILDARE 0-10 GALWAY 0-16: Galway warmed up for next week’s league final against Dublin with a stylish win over a totally demoralised Kildare side at St Conleth’s Park yesterday afternoon.

Gawlay 0-13 - Dublin 0-13: Every other top football team in the country have tested themselves against Dublin under Jim Gavin’s management, but finally Galway had their crack – and at the first try they found a way under their skin.

Sigerson Cup

Galway came to Castlebar and a final 20-minute push saw them dethrone the five-time Connacht champions on a drizzly night, low on quality but high on heart and commitment from the men in maroon.

Galway 0-15 Meath 1-12: You can only imagine the scale of the inquests in Meath this morning had Mick O’Dowd’s men not rescued a draw with a scramble of points in the closing stages of this bizarre game at a cold, wet Salthill.

Galway 1-9 Tyrone 1-11: Damien Comer’s goal three minutes from time almost inspired Galway to an unlikely comeback win at Pearse Stadium, but ultimately poor finishing cost the Tribesmen dearly.

Galway 2-8 Roscommon 0-13: January silverware is no guarantee of a golden summer but Galway fans will be suitably heartened by this FBD League success, the first trophy they have brought home since they last won it in 2009.

Stephen O’Brien replaces Johnny Buckley in the only change to the Kerry side for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final with Kildare in Croke Park (2pm).

A blistering second-half start – in which the visitors hit an unanswered 1-3 – powered Mayo to a fifth consecutive championship win over Galway this afternoon.

Galway 1-13 Leitrim 0-8: Job done for Kevin Walsh and Galway, but Mayo will hardly be terrified by what they saw at Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada.

Galway 3-12 Kildare 1-12: A performance symbolic of a regressive spring campaign, Kildare dropping to the league’s third tier with hardly a punch thrown in this deciding bout.

Both Galway and Roscommon are still in the hunt for promotion to Division 1 after Damien Comer's goal helped the Tribesmen to their third win of the campaign at Hyde Park.

Galway 0-10 Laois 2-10

Galway 0-10, Cavan 0-12:

Down 1-17, Galway 1-16: Kevin Walsh was left regretting Galway’s wastefulness as Down came with a late charge to snatch a valuable win which moved them to the top of Div 2 in the Allianz Football League.

Allianz FL Division 1 Round 2: Westmeath 2-12 Galway 2-13: It’s an awful pity that Paddy Sweeney didn’t live to see this day. A stalwart of the Killannin club which also produced Kevin Walsh, Sweeney also served as an officer of Galway football board but was killed in a work accident over a year ago.

St Mary’s College 1-10 NUI Galway 1-7

Galway 2-13 Meath 1-12: Allianz Footbal League Division 2: Galway’s exile from the top flight in the league is now in its fourth year but with four of their games at home this season and derby away ties to Roscommon and Westmeath also on the agenda, there is growing optimism that they are in a good position for promotion.

NUI Galway 0-10 Roscommon 0-09: Roscommon manager John Evans felt NUI Galway showed more resolve as the Galway students edged a tempestuous affair at Ballyforan.

CONNACHT U21 FC FINAL:

Nine points from Young Footballer of the Year, Cillian O’Connor, proved to be the difference as Galway surrendered their provincial and All-Ireland U21 FC crowns in last night’s Connacht preliminary round clash in Castlebar.

THERE must have been mixed emotions for the Down football fraternity in Croke Park on Saturday.

IT was an All-Ireland Colleges semi-final to savour at the Claughaun Grounds, Limerick on Saturday with sweet, flowing football as St Jarlath’s of Tuam edged out battling Coláiste Chríost Rí to book a final date with holders St Colman’s, Newry.
