Damien Comer’s goal helps to steady ship for Galway

Galway failed to score for the final 25 minutes, but held on to beat Armagh in a high-quality second round All-Ireland SFC qualifier in the Athletic Grounds yesterday.

There was very little in it, but the Tribesmen were looking comfortable after Damien Comer’s fisted goal in the 42nd minute.

They led by seven points after 49 minutes before a triple substitution by Kieran McGeeney in the 50th minute ignited Armagh, with Mark Shields, Aidan Forker and Tony Kernan among the point scorers.
