Galway v Roscommon score recap and full result from the Connacht ... (Irish Mirror)

After two lopsided provincials finals in Munster and Leinster on Saturday, this one promises to be a much more competitive affair.

Galway working hard as they turn Roscommon over before breaking at pace. Up the other end Cox shoots wide, Roscommon's seventh so far. Harney with a surging run for Roscommon before he is cynically hauled down. Finally we get our first point of the match from a free as Dylan McHugh is penalised. That could have been a black card. Patrick Kelly finds an onrushing Comer with a precise before latter-named hooks over his third point of the match. Galway 2-16 Roscommon 0-13 Galway 2-16 Roscommon 0-14 Galway 2-16 Roscommon 1-14 Diarmuid Murtagh got a late goal in the last action of the game but it was too late in the day for the Rossies. Galway 2-19 Roscommon 1-15 Galway 2-19 Roscommon 2-16

Galway secure Connacht title as inside men put Roscommon to the ... (Irish Examiner)

A first Connacht title of Pádraic Joyce's improving tenureship, his Galway charges relatively untroubled in avoiding a third straight defeat to Roscommon ...

Comer kicked his three points during an all-action second-half showing, while Finnerty, with five points from play, was in match of the match territory. N Kilroy for Heneghan (HT); R Hughes for Murray (48); D Murtagh for D Smith (49); A Glennon for McKeon, K Doyle for Nolan (both (58).N Kilroy for Heneghan (HT); R Hughes for Murray (48); D Murtagh for D Smith (49); A Glennon for McKeon, K Doyle for Nolan (both (58). The goal was part of an unanswered 1-3 that moved Galway 1-6 to 0-4 in front, with Roscommon kicking five wides during this period, including an Enda Smith goal chance in the play directly before Walsh’s green flag. That numerical disadvantage arose when Kieran Molloy was correctly black carded on 31 minutes for a pull back on Ciaráin Murtagh, Enda Smith pointing in the ensuing play to reduce the Galway lead to three, 1-7 to 0-7, and fill Roscommon boots full of momentum that the gap could be further shrunk before Joe McQuillan whistled for the interval break. The second of the Galway green flags was by a distance of greater importance than the first, Patrick Kelly’s drop-kick effort arriving at a time when Pádraic Joyce’s side were operating with a man less. As well as delivering a 48th Connacht SFC title, and first since 2018, this afternoon’s three-point victory means Galway’s route to the All-Ireland final is free of both Kerry and Dublin, the Munster and Leinster champions on the other side of the road in the race for Sam Maguire.

Shane Walsh inspires Galway to end Connacht SFC final hurt with ... (Independent.ie)

A first Connacht final win for Galway in Pearse Stadium since 2005 and the avoidance of a fourth successive loss in a provincial decider provides the small ...

Scorers - Galway: S Walsh 1-6 (0-2 45s, 0-1f), R Finnerty 0-5, D Comer 0-3, Patrick Kelly 1-0, J Heaney 0-2, C McDaid, P Conroy, K Molloy all 0-1 each. It was a game breaker. On his day, Walsh has the explosiveness and balance off either foot that makes him virtually unplayable. But they were too ponderous in their build up and that played into the hands of a Galway defence that was content to flood the 'D' with numbers in the knowledge that against the wind their options were limited. This is a team going places. But on cue he's a joy to watch and really set the tone for a Galway performance that was a lot more decisive than the scoreline suggests.

"When you watch Shane Walsh play football," added Sean Cavanagh, "there's a thing of beauty about it. Paul Conroy kicked points from everywhere, as per, while Damien Comer was like a man possessed on the edge of the square. On the line, Padraic Joyce will have been extremely satisfied with what he saw as, in backing up their semi-final win over Mayo, his team have real momentum behind them now.
