Ruthless Galway unload pain on Laois

Galway 3-31 Laois 1-11: Galway thrashed Laois by 36 points the last time these sides met in the league back in 2008, and for a good while yesterday it seemed they might even surpass that margin.

Micheál Donoghue made seven changes after his side’s promotion hopes suffered a major setback at Pearse Stadium two weeks ago when they folded in the closing stages against Wexford, so they were in no mood to take it easy at any stage yesterday at the Salthill venue.

A crowd of more than 7,000 witnessed that game a fortnight earlier but this time just 2,327 braved the wet and cold as the Tribesmen came out of the blocks with the wind, led by 0-9 to 0-0 after just eight minutes and were out of sight with a 15-point lead by the interval.
