Public Marvel As Dubs Victorious Despite Strong Galway Showing In League Final

Public Marvel As Dubs Victorious Despite Strong Galway Showing In League Final

Dublin are once again the Allianz League Division One champions after a highly entertaining four-point victory over Galway. Jim Gavin's men were made to work for their victory but in the end had four points to spare as a strong second-half showing sealed the win. The final score was 0-18 to 0-14.

Galway will take an enormous amount of encouragement from their league campaign which saw them go undefeated until the final. With the Corofin clubmen still to return as well as the likes of Michael Daly, the Tribesmen look in an extraordinarily promising position ahead of the championship.

The star of the show for the men from the west was Annaghdown's Damien Comer with a monstrous performance at the edge of the square.

Comer's wit and aptitude drew three early Dublins fouls with both Johnny Cooper and Philly McMahon booked for offenses in the first half.

With 36,754 in attendance, Dublin overcame the sending off of Niall Scully after 50 minutes to power through with Brian Fenton, Paul Mannion and Dean Rock all impressive. Rock's seven points, six from set-pieces, ultimately proved the difference.

With Mayo in waiting for Galway, their attention will quickly turn to May as they look to reclaim the Connacht crown they last won in 2016.
