Lucky 13 as Galwegians end the wait against Con

Constitution simply ran out of ideas against the determined Galwegians, whose first-half opportunism paved the way for a deserved victory. The result sent shock waves through the Cork club, with joint coach David Corkery describing the display as “completely unacceptable.”

The mood in the Galwegians’ camp, however, was a striking contrast: “This was a big day in the history of the club,” said coach Bernie Kelly. “It’s a very young side and we have struggled without our Connacht players so it was even more meaningful. Our defence got us through in the end and it was one of those days when it was better to play without the ball and force the opposition to make the mistakes.”
