Galway look to Maughan in bid to regain minor crown

AFTER Mayo’s domination of the Connacht minor football grade over the last three years, both Galway and Roscommon will be eager to seize the opportunity to claim success in tomorrow’s provincial decider at Dr Hyde Park.

Galway are backboned by players from the St Jarlath’s side that reached the All-Ireland Colleges SAFC final in April with Liam Silke, Adrian Nolan, Ian Burke and Shane Walsh all impressive operators.

Shane Maughan struck 1-7 in Galway’s comfortable 4-13 to 0-11 semi-final triumph over Leitrim and he will be a key attacker as they bid to claim the county’s first triumph at this level since 2007.
