Ryan puts wind in Galway sails

EANNA RYAN showed the type of poaching prowess his namesake and uncle was famous for in the late ‘80s to keep Galway’s ambitions of retaining their Allianz Division 1 title.

The Killimordaly man’s 73rd minute goal was the difference between the sides — that and Dublin’s awful shooting on a day when they cast their line and reality bit.

With 19 wides, not to mention the scoring attempts that landed shy of the goals, it was a dreadful return. If they don’t make the final they will only have themselves to blame.
