Galway arrived at the Athletic Grounds carrying the kind of pressure that can crush a young team. Pointless after two rounds of the Allianz League and still smarting from defeat against Mayo a week earlier, Padraic Joyce’s side knew another defeat would leave relegation fears looming large, with a daunting trip to Tralee next on the horizon.
