Galway master UCD and secure Premier spot
Galway FC completed a fairytale debut season in the SSE Airtricity League last night when securing promotion to the Premier Division at the first time of asking as they completed the job in style against UCD over two legs in the promotion/relegation play-off.
The home side took a 2-1 lead into the game from the first-leg in Belfield on Monday thanks to a dramatic finish which saw them score twice in the last minute. A Gary Shanahan strike on the stroke of half-time last night as good as ended the tie as a contest; and second-half goals from U19 international Ryan Manning and Alex Byrne completed the rout.
