LIAM MELLOWS BOOKED their place in the Galway SHC final after an 0-13 to 1-9 win over Cappataggle this afternoon.
David Collins’s club haven’t appeared in a county final since 1970, the same year they last lifted the title. Collins retired from inter-county duty a year ago and subsequently missed out an All-Ireland medal as Galway went all the way in September.
But the GPA President now has a county final to look forward to after a narrow victory today.

Liam Mellows led Cappataggle by 0-7 to 0-3 at half-time but the latter gave a strong display in the second-half. Cappataggle bagged a goal but it wasn’t quite enough, and Liam Mellows got out with a one-point victory.
In the other semi-final, Gort and Craughwell will go to a replay after they played out a 1-10 to 0-13 draw.
Aidan Helebert goaled for Gort to leave them 1-7 to 0-7 in front early on in the second period. But Craughwell responded with four points on the bounce to take the lead after 55 minutes.
