Mayo win must be a start not a finish warns Galway star Conroy

Galway's Paul Conroy, left, and Johnny Heaney celebrate after the Connacht SFC quarter final win over Mayo at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park. 

Galway’s first championship win over Mayo in four years will count for nothing if not backed up in the weeks ahead, Galway’s in-form midfielder Paul Conroy has insisted.

Galway’s success in ending Mayo manager James Horan’s 100% championship record against the Tribesmen has earned the county a home Connacht semi-final against Leitrim in a fortnight. And should Galway come out on top in the May 8 clash at Salthill, they will again enjoy home comforts for the provincial final if Roscommon, as expected, emerge from the far side of the draw.
