GALWAY got their Leinster Championship campaign back on track with an emphatic victory over Offaly in Tullamore on Saturday.

They held the Faithful County to just five second-half points, despite losing full-back Daithi Burke to a red card before the start of the second half.

“We wanted to get a good bounce back after last week" said coach Micheal Donoghue afterwards.

“The lads took a lot of ownership of it during the week, and I think that was reflective in their performance today.

“We haven't been at home since the end of January which is tough, and we have played some quality teams.

“We acknowledge the support we had here today, it was fantastic and we're looking forward to having huge support for the next two home games.”

Wexford and Antrim will be coming to Salthill in early May.

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Tribesmen. Killian Sampson's early goal put them on the back foot before Cathal Mannion and debutant Colm Molloy in the full-forward line got them into the game.
