Bradshaw ready for tough replay test

GALWAY’S scoring saviour Gareth Bradshaw insists he had no qualms about stepping up to the injury-time free which drew Sunday’s Connacht SFC semi-final against Sligo in Pearse Stadium.

Galway were trailing 1-10 to 1-9 when Micheal Meehan was fouled late on and the Tribesmen turned to the unlikely figure of Bradshaw to take the kick.

He recalled: “They were stuck for a right-footed freetaker and Páraic Joyce didn’t fancy it as the way the wind was going across didn’t suit him.
