In a thrilling encounter at Tuam Stadium, Shane Walsh's late free secured a 1-18 apiece draw for Galway against Tyrone, maintaining their unbeaten run in the Allianz National Football League Division One.
Galway and Tyrone fought to a dramatic 1-18 apiece draw in their Allianz National Football League Division One clash at Tuam Stadium. Shane Walsh , with nerves of steel, slotted a crucial two-point free against the diagonal wind in the dying seconds to snatch a share of the spoils for Galway . Tyrone seemed destined for victory when Matty Donnelly landed a two-pointer a minute from the end, but Walsh's late heroics denied them a second league win.
The game was a captivating back-and-forth affair with both sides showcasing their attacking prowess. Galway started brightly, racking up four two-point frees in the first half, while Tyrone responded with a goal from Darragh Canavan, their first goal conceded by Galway in this league campaign. The first half saw a flurry of scores from both sides, with Galway's Rob Finnerty and Tyrone's Mark Bradley exchanging two-point frees. Tyrone led at the half-time break by 1-8 to 0-11 but Galway dominated the opening period of the second half, with Cein Darcy edging them ahead after coming on at the break. However, Tyrone, aided by the wind, fought back with points from Bradley and Canavan before Jack O'Neill levelled the scores for the eighth time. Tyrone then surged ahead with points from Bradley and Canavan, followed by a two-point free from Bradley, establishing a four-point lead. Galway, however, refused to be defeated. Shane Walsh, who had missed a couple of long-range efforts earlier, converted a two-point free to reduce the deficit. Canavan extended Tyrone's lead with a goal, but Galway captain Sean Kelly was fouled, leading to a penalty, which Walsh expertly converted to tie the scores. A late point from Darren McCurry seemed to give Tyrone the edge, but Walsh once again stepped up to the plate, scoring a dramatic equalizer in the final seconds to maintain Galway's unbeaten start to the league campaign
