Galway let big lead slip away in second half
Galway footballers looked set for a third straight victory when they led by nine points at half-time, but where instead grateful to John Daly's late block on Ethan Doherty's shot with only 10 seconds left on the clock and share the points. It was a remarkable transformation from the home side.
Dylan's McHugh's ninth minute goal which handed Padraic Joyce's team a grip that tightened as the opening half progressed. In the second period Derry’s remarkable transformation saw them outscore the Tribesmen by 0-12 to 0-3 in a second half that they will not be happy with. Final Score: Derry 0-16 (0-1-14) Galway 1-13 (1-3-7)

St. Mary’s GAA Club, Athenry extends its deepest sympathies to Mary, Sinead, Dara and the extended Coleman and Cooley families on the sad passing of Michael. We also extend our sympathies to Abbeyknockmoy Hurling Club members, former teammates, neighbours and his many friends.
Michael inspired and led a generation of his club’s players to win county titles at intermediate and senior level. Few in Athenry will ever forget, but always admired, his inspirational displays against us in the 1988 drawn and re-played senior finals.
He won All-Ireland Senior, Under 21 and three National Hurling League medals, captain in 1996, with Galway and was selected for three All-Star Awards.
