For Galway summer starts now

Last summer Galway provided us with a 21-point spread against Sligo. Yesterday, a spirited and youthful Sligo team managed to keep the score respectable for the majority of the game.

I say ‘respectable’ because it was a Division 1 team against a Division 4 equivalent - a top flight side five years in the making under Kevin Walsh against Paul Taylor in his rookie season as Sligo boss.
