Impressive Galway secure 25th title with ease

First-half goals from Paudie McCormack and Finnian Ó Laoi gave Galway the edge before Sean Kelly’s wrapped up the win with his side’s third in the 38th minute. Sligo got off to a flyer playing against the wind as a third minute free from Nathan Rooney gave the Yeats men the lead, before Kyle Cawley slotted a point from a tight angle to double the lead.

Galway had a shocking day in the drawn match with a tally of 15 wides, but once Paudie McCormack got them off the mark in the ninth minute the Tribesmen settled and five consecutive scores saw them lead 0-5 to 0-2 by the 14th minute.
