Derry v Galway

Derry badly need something to get them going. Shane McGuigan strikes over a point in response for Derry. Odhran Lynch attempted a shot from play but it was blocked by the retreating Shane Walsh. He fires in a kick that sees the white flag raised for a point but then Hawk-Eye intervenes and it’s another Galway wide. And eventually Galway get off the mark. Comer gets space as Rodgers slips and the Annaghdown man finishes coolly as he rolls a shot to the net. And Derry are efficient in their business at the other end. The counties clashed in semi-finals in 1998 and 2001, both resulting in Galway wins. Derry haven’t featured in the last four since they lost out to Kerry in 2004. And it’s a pretty novel pairing, would Derry v Galway have been forecast for this stage of the competition earlier in the year? 10. Paul Cassidy (Bellaghy), 11. 2. Liam Silke (Corofin), 3.
