Galway face Monaghan seeking safety win

Thu, Mar 02, 2023

Galway may have dropped another point last weekend, but with division one league football being ultra competitive this year, a win against a resurgent Monaghan this coming Sunday would almost guarantee safety for 2024.

Galway were by far the better team in the second half in Letterkenny, preventing Donegal from scoring from the 31st to the 67th minutes. Galway's defence has been quite mean throughout the league so far, but some wayward shooting from the home side helped their cause as Donegal kicked 13 wides in total. Had not a Paul Conroy free in the last play of the game sailed wide, Galway could have brought both valuable points back to Galway.
