While their 2024 season isn't over, Galway's hopes of winning the Connacht or All-Ireland Minor A Football Championship ended in Tuam Stadium on Friday (17th May) when they were comprehensively beaten by Roscommon in the provincial semi-final.
Late first-half goals by Eoin Collins and Dara Curran gave the primrose and blue an interval advantage they maintained before Dean Casey got the third green flag on 51 minutes.
As a result, Mayo and Roscommon will contest the Connacht minor final and represent the west in the All-Ireland series. But Galway will join 10 other teams, including Sligo, to compete for the Tier 2 national prize.
