1-7 for Shane Walsh as Galway edge a stone-cold classic in Newry to make quarter-final
Galway 2-5-16 (32) Down 3-4-13 (30) GALWAY JUST ABOUT done enough against a superb Down challenge to book their place in next weekend's All-Ireland quarter-finals. When it looked like Down were about to pass them out completely, a goal from Tomo Culhane when he grasped a loose ball spilled by Peter Cooke put them into a strong position going down the stretch, enough to survive a Ryan Magill goal with time ticking out. Down went in at the break ten points down with a strong breeze not helping their case, but hit two two-point scores immediately after the restart to set up a nerve-shredding second half. With his final contribution, Shane Walsh swung over a two-point free with his left foot before departing the scene, and his fitness will be of huge concern. The contribution of Peter Cooke was crucial to claiming some authority on the kickout in the second half, the big Moycullen man providing a serious presence after being introduced. Odhran Murdoch and Magill goaled in the last ten minutes for Down, who will rue some simple chances missed. More to follow….

Down beaten by Galway despite second-half fightback
Galway withstood a second-half Down fightback as they moved into the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-finals with a 2-26 to 3-20 win at Pairc by 10 at the break, a Shane Walsh-inspired Galway seemed well on their way, but Down gave it a real go and it took Tomo Culhane's late goal to give the Tribesmen breathing Down could be proud of their efforts but will reflect on the final nine minutes of the opening half when they were outscored by 0-9 to 0-0 as Walsh hit six and Matthew Thompson three as the period when the game got away from they were within two when Culhane beat Ronan Burns, while a late Down goal from Ryan Magill came too close to the was an even start with points from John McGeough and Odhran Murdock edging Down into a lead, but Galway began to find their rhythm with Robert Finnerty on song early, hitting the game's first two-pointer to give Galway a 0-6 to 0-2 response was excellent and a sweeping move resulted in McGeough thumping home to bring the home crowd to life before Murdock levelled soon after Cillian McDaid edged Galway back in front, enter Shane Walsh. The Tribe talisman got on the end of a Matthew Thompson delivery to thump home and beat Ronan Burns who had previously made a couple of great stops from Finnerty and Cian Down replied with two super Danny Magill scores and another from blood sub Eugene Branagan to reduce the gap to one with 26 minutes it was all Galway in the run to the break as Walsh in particular took over, hitting the next six points including two two-pointers from play and a Thompson would get in on the act with a two-pointer and a single of his own as Galway went in at the break with a 1-16 to 1-6 lead. It was a long way back for Down, although they had the breeze in their favour for the second half, but they got the start they needed with two-pointers from Daniel Guinness and Miceal Rooney.A Havern free cut the gap to five, but Galway steadied again with Thompson, Finnerty and Mathew Tierrney all on began to get on top and a second two-pointer from Guinness was the spark as they got to within two, but then passed up further scores with some poor wides which would come back to haunt Mooney hit two points after his introduction as Down remained right in the hunt heading into the home stretch and after Walsh kicked a two-point free to push the gap back to five, Down looked set to break for home as with five to go, Odhran Murdock found some space to lash to the Galway held their nerve, kept the ball and drained the clock until it opened up as Peter Cooke put fellow sub Culhane in to lash the gap at six with just over a minute to go, Magill palmed home at the other end, but vitally, Galway won the restart and John Daly provided the insurance with a late Ryan McEvoy point after the hooter making no odds as Down's fightback came up short with Galway advancing.
