SHANE WALSH PRODUCED a stunning display of shooting as Galway ended Donegal’s winning start to the league despite twice playing periods with just 13 men at Pearse Stadium.
Walsh went into the contest as the top two-point scorer in Division 1 with eight efforts and he added another four in the opening half, three of them from play in an exhibition of shooting. Walsh got his second two-pointer with a sublime effort from 50 metres on the right to lead by 0-8 to 0-0 after 12 minutes, before Rob Finnerty added a two-point free and then one from play along with Daniel O’Flaherty to push the lead out to 12 after 21 minutes.
And then just before the interval Galway’s Tierney was harshly red-carded for a high challenge on Hugh McFadden. Peadar Mogan went forward to shoot a two-pointer but after another point from Walsh, Galway were again reduced to 13 men after 63 minutes when Finnian O Laoi pulled down Mark Curran as the Donegal defender tried to come out.
