Galway pass Connacht final gut check with flying colours

Galway secured their 46th Connacht title and claimed the first spot in the Super 8s as Shane Walsh turned on the style at Dr Hyde Park yesterday.

The two halves couldn’t have been more contrasting here as Roscommon bossed the opening period but only led by three at the interval, while Galway showed their class after the break to win convincingly.

In the second period against the wind, Galway only kicked two wides, while Roscommon added seven to their tally and failed to score from open play in that 40-minute period.
