Matthew Tierney led the way in front of a crowd of over 6,000 at Tuam Stadium
“The second-half, after the first five or six minutes of it, you’d be very pleased with the rest of it.”
Galway struggled to get quality ball into their full-forward line with the wind with Tierney and Conroy getting five of their points and Peter Cooke and cornerback Jack Glynn chipping in with the other scores. Galway responded with Conroy shooting a good point to make it 0-8 to 0-6 after 47 minutes before Cormac McMunroe and Cathal Sweeney exchanged points.
They pushed on from there with three more points to lead by seven with five minutes left and while Tyrone rallied in the closing stages they never looked like getting the goal they needed to salvage the game and the Tribesmen held on for victory with Tyrone captain Padraig Hampsey only getting the gap down to three in the last seconds of the five minutes additional time.
