Galway bidding to correct final failings 

Sunday's clash with Roscommon is Galway’s seventh Connacht final in a row and so far only two of them have been won.

It’s 112 years since Galway lost four Connacht SFC finals in a row but for all the apparent progress in recent seasons they will repeat that statistic if they go down to Roscommon at Pearse Stadium tomorrow.

Surprisingly in a province where, for the most part, only five counties have participated, Leitrim are the only other side to lose four finals on the spin, going down to Galway each summer from 1957 to 1960.
