Magical Meegan conjures up thrilling victory for Grattans
There was never much to choose between the two sides, who shadowed each other like a pair of Cold War spies for most of the afternoon. The losers will feel aggrieved that they were the second Galway team to come up short in Dublin yesterday afternoon after Loughrea’s earlier reversal.
The star performer of the day came from within the losers’ ranks, centre-forward Cormac Bane amassing an astonishing personal tally of 1-8. If ever a player deserved to be on the winning side, then it was Bane, whose marksmanship from dead balls in particular was astonishing.
