Leonard shines for ladies
GALWAY not only had to overcome Waterford on Saturday afternoon but also monsoon rain conditions in Longford that could have potentially derailed Timmy Rabbitt’s charges’ All-Ireland dreams.
Approximately 30 minutes before throw-in the heavens opened in Pearse Park and what many onlookers would have expected to be a comfortable victory for the Tribeswomen suddenly had the feeling of a potential banana skin.
This incessant rainfall persisted throughout but despite the elements, which could be regarded as somewhat of a leveller, Galway dug deep and ground out a result and in doing soon booked their place in the All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo on August 25.
