Mulholland content with performance

Galway manager Alan Mulholland will face some selection headaches ahead of his side’s Connacht semi-final clash with Sligo.

Mulholland was forced to introduce some new faces to the side which hammered London 3-17 to 0-7 but he believes the manner in which they acquitted themselves will ask questions of some established names in the panel.

“We had some injuries coming into the game and that forced us to make some changes, so there were probably lads in there we wouldn’t have considered at the very start,” he said. “We were happy with the way some of the younger guys acquitted themselves. Shane (Walsh) finished with a goal and a couple of points and he will be happy with that, and some of the younger guys will stake their claim now, so the likes of Sean Armstrong, Paul Conroy and so on are going to have work that bit harder to get back into the team. It will make us all the stronger when guys are available to come into the team against Sligo. This is going to strengthen the panel.”
