Galway Minors seize the day in Croker

GALWAY’S appearances at Croke Park on the third Sunday of September have been few and far between since the turn of the century, but on the back of their win over Donegal at GAA HQ, they’ll return to face Kerry or Kildare in an All-Ireland final to look forward to next month.
Goals from Dessie Conneely and Robert Finnerty allied to a sterling defensive effort and an insatiable appetite for hard graft secured their passage to Gaelic football’s showpiece day.
Afterwards Steven Joyce spoke of his delight with Galway’s performance but admitted that the final margin should have been much more convincing than the four points that separated the sides after the hour.
