Galway’s ladies football team picked up a massive result in Abbotstown on Sunday when they defeated reigning All-Ireland champions Dublin to move within touching distance of the semi-finals.
A Caitriona Cormican goal put the Tribeswomen in the driving seat but it was two late frees from Galway captain Tracey Leonard that gave Stephen Glennon’s charges a 1-17 to 1-15 win.
One more victory against Cork or Westmeath will secure Galway a final four spot and afterwards, Leonard talked to us describing the result as a sweet win.
