Wade the destroyer as Galway minors power through to decider

Galway 2-15 Cork 1-13

In a splendid contest, the scoring exploits of corner forward Karl Wade were crucial, the Sarsfields youngster finishing with 1-9.

If Wade was Galway’s top forward, John Lee and Gerard Mahon were the bedrock of their defence. Cork found it almost impossible to break down the Galway rearguard as these two players, playing in their second semi-final, hurled defiantly throughout.
