So that’s it. Galway get the expected win in their opening assignment of 2018 and join Roscommon on top of the Connacht FBD League table. Their next outing is this Sunday (7th January) when they travel to MacHale Park, Castlebar to take on Mayo.
Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Good night

It’s the opening assignment for Galway’s senior footballers in 2018 as they take on Sligo in the FBD League. The Tribesmen are going for three titles in-a-row as they prepare themselves for Division One National League Football beginning on January 28th. Kevin Walsh has named four of the team that reached last year’s All-Ireland under 21 Football Final and has made 13 changes from the starting team that faced Kerry in last year’s All-Ireland senior quarter-final.
