Another strong start from Galway's footballers secured a second win in Division 2 of the National Football League on Saturday (5th February).
Padraic Joyce's men ran 1-7 to 0-2 clear with the wind in the first, Paul Conroy getting the goal. And their lead stayed intact afterwards.
With two wins, the Tribesmen shouldn't have any fears of getting dragged into a relegation fight or near the Tailteann Cup and their energies can now be focused on trying to get back into the top flight.
