GALWAY ALL THE WAY IN CONNACHT

Galway 0-16 Mayo 1-4

- BY DARREN KELLY

GALWAY are the TG4 Connacht SFC champions for the 19th time after retaining their crown in Castlebar yesterday.

An early six-point lead spearheaded by Róisín Leonard and Olivia Divilly (below) provided the platform, despite Sinéad Walsh converting a Mayo penalty in the second half.

Galway had the stiff wind in the first half but Mayo kept things tight in defence. The Tribeswomen eventually broke through when Leonard converted a free on 11 minutes.

They doubled that advantage two minutes after when Divilly punished a defensive mistake.
