Mullaney in firing line as Galway give lowly Laois seven goal mauling
No-one could have foreseen this, no-one would have wanted this, not even the most myopic Galway supporter.
At half time Laois trailed by 11 points, 3-8 to 0-6. It would have been double that but for the heroics of Mullaney. Galway full-forward Richie Murray had two of those goals, twice more he was denied as was impressive centre-forward David Forde. One point-blank save off Murray was instantly pounced on by corner-forward Alan Kerins, for Galway’s third major.
