Tuam power home with second-half goal fest

The most prolific winners of the Galway SFC, Tuam Stars, blasted their way past Killanin and into the third round of the 2012 campaign in Pearse Stadium yesterday.

Five second-half goals for last year’s runners-up saw them destroy Killanin as the Stars recovered from their loss to Corofin – the same side that defeated them in last year’s decider.

Tuam Stars, who haven’t won a county title since 1994, led 1-10 to 0-4 at half time after Jamie Murphy goaled to give them the upper hand. But, after the restart, the north Galway side tore into their opponents and once Murphy goaled again the result was never in doubt.
