Galway finish with a flurry

Galway2-17 Waterford 2-13

A four-point defeat by Galway in the Allianz NHL now means the team that captured the headlines last season when winning the Munster title is now reeling on the ropes in Division 1 “A.”

Not even the presence of Paul Flynn could save the Justin McCarthy managed side from another defeat. And to compound Waterford’s problems, outstanding centre-forward Ken McGrath is likely to miss the remainder of the competition after being sent off with Galway centre-back Diarmuid Cloonan, following an altercation between the two just before the interval.
