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.

The Galway footballers have kept up their unbeaten start to the league, a first win on Kerry soil since 2000 handing Kevin Walsh's charges their fourth successive Division 1A victory.

Galway scored their 13th ever league win over Tyrone when they led throughout a tough contest at Tuam Stadium.

Galway 0-18 Kildare 0-16: The increasing depth of this Galway panel means Kevin Walsh has an interesting nine weeks ahead of him in attempting to piece together his strongest team.

Galway 3-13 Clare 1-11: It’s six years since Galway lost their top flight status and while they are now in the driving seat to make a return, manager Kevin Walsh is not getting too excited just yet.

Galway 0-14 Cork 1-11: A point lost by Cork, a point earned by Galway. And both knew it.

Galway 2-14 Roscommon 0-15: Goals in either half from Cillian McDaid and Danny Cummins enabled Galway retain their FBD Connacht League title against Roscommon at Kiltoom.

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.

Meanwhile substitute Cian O’Brien was the hero for Meath as his late equaliser rescued a draw.

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.

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.

Leitrim 0-8 Galway 1-13

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.

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.

For weeks, the focus before this All-Ireland junior final zeroed in on Derrytresk, but Galway’s Naomh Pádraig stole the limelight in Croke Park yesterday by claiming the honours in the most dramatic fashion.

GALWAY junior champions Naomh Pádraig, Clonbur eased their way into an All-Ireland club final with a facile victory in Carrick-on-Shannon yesterday.
