However, this year’s Connacht U20 championship has been a rollercoaster ride from start to finish, and it was never going to be as simple as that. Advertisement The points that Galway struck from players like Matthew Thompson, Fionn MacDonnacha and in particular Jack Mullen were right out of the top drawer, but Roscommon’s bench impact was crucial, with Ethan O’Reilly and Ryan Dowling making match-winning impacts.
In between, McGinley crowned his man-of-the-match display with a neat finish giving Roscommon just enough breathing room to hold on. Roscommon hit the next two points but again Galway struck four in a row before the interval, and it seemed like the foundations were laid for Galway’s first provincial title since 2020.
