St James’s make last eight

Paul Conroy inspired city side St James’s to reach the Galway SFC quarter-finals with a dynamic display against Kilkerrin/Clonberne at Tuam Stadium on Saturday evening.

A second-half penalty from Tommy Walsh edged a tight contest in favour of the Mervue/Renmore men, who join the big hitters in tonight’s last eight draw.

Conroy landed three points before the break, but fellow county stars Johnny Duane and Eoin Concannon also weighed in as James’ opened a 0-7 to 0-4 advantage at half-time.
