Mayo send Galway into free fall

IF Galway were a political party right now they would be Fianna Fáil.

Their once proud stock has been on the slide for some time but it hit arguably its lowest ebb yesterday when, of all people, Enda Kenny’s own countymen departed their footballing heartland of Tuam with an eight-points win.

The defeat was Galway’s third straight in this Allianz League Division One campaign and, with Kerry and Cork next on their agenda, relegation is already a grave concern with four games remaining.
