ATU Galway 2-21TUS Midwest 1-18

In a winner-take-all clash in Moylish, home grounds for TUS Midwest, those in attendance could be forgiven for assuming the home side would progress after a strong first half. Jimmy Browne’s side led 0-15 to 0-7 and had showed real quality in building that lead. The considerable breeze at their back was a factor but overall, they’d looked the more well-rounded side, capable of maintaining their winning position.
