Victories for Galway, Down and Westmeath footballers

A blistering opening set Galway on their way to a 2-13 to 1-12 win over Meath in their Allianz Football League Division 2 tie today.

The westerners led by 1-5 to 0-1 after 14 minutes and it took a late Jamie Queeney goal to give the scoreline a slightly more flattering look for the Royals.
