Galwegians top Division 1

GALWEGIANS proved there is life without their key men when they surged to the top of the AIB League with a convincing win over Belfast Harlequins in Deramore on Saturday.

None of the Connacht stars were available and the list of non-appearers included their most consistent scorer, Eric Elwood.

Still, Galwegians had enough in reserve to secure a well-deserved 24-14 victory.
