Rossies came out on top in lethargic and slow-paced encounter in Pearse Stadium
It was an exciting finish to a lacklustre game in which the main storyline for so long was the worrying sixth minute injury suffered by Damien Comer.
Peter Cooke and Neil Mulcahy started for Galway, with Daniel O’Flaherty and Ian Burke making way from the team named in the programme. Roscommon also made two changes from the officially named side, Enda Smith and Daire Cregg coming for Ben O’Carroll and Ciaráin Murtagh respectively. Whether the game would have otherwise sparked to life is impossible to know, but certainly the injury and lengthy stoppage seemed to suck most of the energy from the encounter. What followed was a game played at a frustratingly pedestrianised pace.
