NFL Division 1 2024

How many steps did Conroy take there....twice?

[twohands!!!]

Comer hit the post with one effort and Hawkeye chalks off another - very fine margins in a 2 point game.

[Gael85]

Another defeat for Galway in Croke Park.

Brilliant. Reape rolling around feigning injury and bangs his face into the Galway leg! Hope it really hurt, but he probably faked that too

[GalwayBayBoy]

Reape will get man of the match anyway. 4 saves and the couple scores as well.

FT Mayo 0-14 Galway 0-11. Mayo 2nd Div 1 title in 5 years. Wait goes on for Galway, 1981 since they won the Div 1 title and can look back on plenty of what ifs.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Galway didn't really show up in Croke today, and fair dues to Mayo.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Tight game. Small margins. Galway had 4 decent goal chances and didn't take any of them. Comer hit the post twice (including the Hawkeye one). Don't take your chances you will end up on the wrong side of the score line. Don't think Joyce will be overly enthused by the ref's performance.

Congrats to Mayo.

[From the Bunker]

Nice to win that.

Both teams played poorly.

Now for the real stuff!

[twohands!!!]

Decent appetiser ahead of the championship.

The championship's in touching distance lads.

McHale will be happy with the silverwear but in the cold light of day might be a touch more worried than Joyce.

Giving up that amount of goal chances would be a big worry.

Fair assessment on the game and the Ref.
Galway had three very good goal chances, not including Cookes effort.

And even wides to get at least a draw. At this level you expect 45s to be scored

[marty34]

Just saw the scores there.

Did both teams only score 4 points each from play?

[bennydorano]

Jesus, sounds like some sour grapes knocking about on here and on TV. Fair play to Mayo, best team won, for a team supposedly on the way down with an ageing team that's a super transition irrespective of what happens the rest of the year.

[IronMike247]

Mayo probably the better team over the 70 mins and deserved the win, they were far more direct and intent in their attacking than Galway.
Having said that, Galway would be right to wonder about some of those frees given, when they weren't getting similar. Only 4 points from play for Mayo. Joyce seemed to indicate he thought some of the frees given were "questionable", I would have to agree with him. I'd be surprised if a lot of them were given in a big championship knockout game.
Mayo will be delighted, Rossies waiting in the long grass now though
