Galway Bay FM's commentary team, lead fantastically by Sean Walsh with support from Conor Hayes and Franny Forde captured the heart-pounding nature of yesterday's climax with their 'announcing' of the last few minutes.
Also, Galway's remarkable workrate yesterday is highlighted by teenage livewire Conor Whelan winning a ball he had no right to win after a tussle in the corner with Cathal Barrett.
