There was a lively game of football between the Galway and Donegal Men’s Junior B
teams at the weekend. Scoring was high from the beginning, with Donegal’s Fiachra Coyle (8) securing a point followed by a goal from Micky Winston (13). Galway fought back with a number of points and scoring bounced back and forth between the two teams for much of the first half. Donegal’s Eoghan Hamill (12) scored a point from a free and immediately after, their second goal of the match.
Galway’s number 9, Ryan Padden, and 10, John Moylan, took turns banking points to try and bridge the gap between them and their competitors. Their number 5, David O’Shea, finished the first half with another point.
The second half kicked off with a goal attempt by Padden (9), which was unsuccessful. Donegal’s Hamill (12) and Winston (13) took turns racking up points that put them further ahead. Galway retaliated with a goal from number 7, Conor Gilligan. Donegal’s Darragh Lawlor (9), tried his hand at a goal but his aim was slightly too high, gaining him a point instead.
Encouraged by Gilligan’s (7) goal, Galway came back with a new enthusiasm, bagging three points within the next few minutes. But for every Galway score, there seemed to be a corresponding Donegal one, leaving the scoring gap wide until the end.
Galway fought til the finish, but they could not catch up to their rivals, whose performance on the field was undeniably superior. The game finished with a score of Donegal 3-18 to Galway 1-16.
