Sun finally shines for Galway
After a spring that sucked plenty of hope out of football in the county, the first day of summer brought welcome respite for the Tribesmen. The U-21 grade continues to be a portent of hope for Galway as they collected their third national crown in a decade.
Galway’s final leg to success was a straightforward one. In comparison to their semi-final against Cork when they eked out a two-point win in a tense finale, this provided no stresses or strains. Galway pressed on the accelerator in the second quarter and were out of sight by the break. Alan Mulholland’s side outscored their beleaguered opponents by 2-7 to 0-2 in the closing 15 minutes of the first-half and that period of play determined where the Clarke Cup was bound.
