Galway manager Pádraic Joyce said it was unfortunate their Connacht semi-final against Sligo did not go ahead at the weekend but he doesn’t feel it will impact on their final showdown with Mayo next Sunday.

Joyce said he had sympathy with Sligo’s Covid plight and that Galway would have benefitted if they were victorious in the game as they prepare for their latest joust with arch rivals Mayo.
