GALWAY UNITED CLAIMED victory at Eamonn Deacy Park in the second leg of their play-off semi-final to take a step closer to the Premier Division.

A three-goal success for John Caulfield’s side saw them prevail 5-2 on aggregate.

They will now take on Waterford, who overcame Treaty United in their play-off, in the First Division final with a battle against UCD awaiting the victors there.

David Hurley’s 24th minute goal opened the scoring before late goals from Mikie Rowe and Rob Manley in second-half injury-time clinched success.

The teams had played out a 2-2 draw on Wednesday night in Longford with Rowe netting a brace for Galway.

Last night saw Waterford draw 3-3 with Treaty United, progressing 7-4 on aggregate.

The Waterford-Galway tie will take place Friday 4 November with 7.45pm kick-off.
