GALWAY WILL FACE Kerry in the All-Ireland junior football final after their high-scoring extra-time victory over Meath this afternoon.
The Tribesmen prevailed on an incredible scoreline of 7-17 to 5-22 to book their place in the decider.
Colm Brennan was Galway’s hat-trick hero while Gary Kelly bagged 2-7 and Jonathan Ryan fired over five points, with Enda Tierney and Padraic O’Donnell hitting the other goals.
Alan Molloy and Conor Brady from back-to-back All-Ireland club champions Corofin were part of the victorious side.
Meath surged clear in the first-half and led by seven points at the interval. They had Kevin Ross (2-6) and Stephen Coogan (0-6) in good scoring form but Galway forced extra-time after a late equalising goal from Tierney.
The sides were deadlocked at 6-11 to 4-17 after 60 minutes and the accurate shooting continued during the extra two periods, but the Connacht side eventually prevailed.

It’s re-signed not resigned. No need for Oxymorons at this level of journalism
Great move for Lyon. Hopefully he can do the same damage there like he was doing week in week out before his move to London. A club run a bit like Villa it seems when it comes to making sensible transfers over the years.
