Salthill come in from the cold

Salthill-Knocknacarra 0-7 St Gall’s 0-6

While they failed to add to their total after Sean Armstrong's score 12 minutes into the second-half, some heroic defending and poor finishing from St Gall's meant Salthill were able to protect a four-point advantage until the closing stages.

However, after three late frees two of them from substitute Ciaran McGourty there was every possibility of a draw until Michael Donnellan won a vital ball in the third minute of injury time and was fouled in the process. Seconds later it was all over and Galway supporters could celebrate only the second county double since Blackrock and Nemo Rangers brought both titles to Cork in 1979.
