The Galway Senior Footballers were knocked out of the All-Ireland Football Championship on Sunday afternoon when beaten by a single point by Mayo in the Connacht Final played in Pearse Stadium.
Mayo's 0-14 to 0-13 win will see them face the Munster Champions in the All-Ireland Semi-Final while for Galway, they must now wait until the Allianz National Football league or possibly the FBD League to see competitive football in 2021.
