Galway camogie
Galway edged out Wexford by 3 - 7 to 2 - 6 in their group two qualifier at Wexford Park at the weekend. There was little between these determined sides, and although Wexford enjoyed the better start, Galway came back to ensure the sides were level when Aishling Connolly and Veronica Curtin struck goals just before the break.
When Galway added a third through Brenda Hanney eight minutes after the interval, Galway’s defence stood firm to ensure they took the spoils.
