Finn Harps pick up three points against Galway United

Finn Harps 1, Galway United 0: Finn Harps moved a big step closer to top flight survival this season as they picked up three points against Galway United at Finn Park.

This result means three wins on the spin for Harps and they are now up to seventh in the table and 15 points ahead of bottom club Longford Town.

The opening quarter was a dull affair, with Galway’s only chance being a Padraic Cunningham shot well over the target while at the other end Keith Cowan’s thumping drive was blocked bravely by Stephan Folan.
