James Horan: Galway look great in most areas but there’s more to do

We know from the last number of years that Galway’s defence has been strong, positioned very deep with heavy numbers. It was both a strength and a weakness

DANGER ZONE: Damien Comer scores

At half-time on Sunday, Galway had powered their way to outright favourites for this year's All-Ireland. 

The last 30 minutes of the first half of the Connacht semi-final was a dominant display, powered from the back by Dylan McHugh and, as ever, Sean Kelly. Johnny Heaney was providing the assists for Damien Comer to terrorise Roscommon defenders. It was Galway’s overall pattern and flow of play that had their Roscommon opponents at sixes and sevens.
