Kevin Walsh says Galway are unfairly ‘ridiculed’

Armagh 1-15 Galway 1-15: Claiming his Galway side have been unfairly “ridiculed” for having no backbone, Kevin Walsh saluted his players’ new-found powers of resilience after coming back from the dead for the second week running.

Nine points down to Meath at half time last week, they performed similar heroics in the Athletic Grounds yesterday, coming from eight down to beat 13-man Armagh.

The manner of the draw this time was probably even more impressive, with super-sub Danny Cummins’ equalising goal coming in the seventh minute of stoppage time after Galway had trailed by 1-15 to 0-10 after 57 minutes.
