Peter Cooke, who missed Maigh Cuilinn’s first-ever Galway SFC title last year because he was working in the United States, was the hero as they advanced to the semi-finals with a dramatic 0-16 to 1-12 win over the most prolific winners of the title, Tuam Stars.

The Galway midfielder took responsibility in the third minute of injury-time to kick the winning point and send them into a semi-final meeting against the Mountbellew-Moylough side they defeated in last year’s final.
