Three footballers from Galway clubs, Peter Fahy (Salthill-Knocknacarra ), Shane Maher (St James ) and Darren Walsh (Killanin ) had a big win last weekend in Gaelic Park (New York ) when they played starring roles for Leitrim in that club's exciting 2-12 to 3-6 win over Kerry in the east coast championship.
It was Leitrim's third title in a row, and alongside the Galway lads were some big names - Jamie Clarke, Brendan Donaghay and Kieran McKeever from Armagh, and David O' Gara from Roscommon. Peter Fahy and Shane Maher both started in the wing-back slots and Darren Walsh came on to shore up the full back line in the second half.
