That is the strongest bench I think for a long time. Rachel Kearns, Shauna Howley, Lisa Cafferkey and Sarah Tierney could all have expected to start.
Leave everything on the pitch ladies and hopefully that's enough. Looking forward to this one.
On another note I was at an U14 lgfa semi final last evening in Charlestown where the home team beat Castlebar girls. Even though it was a semifinal the scoreboard wasn't in operation. I asked why and was told it would have been if it was the lads playing. Not good enough!

Best of luck to our girls today, a real test of the progress made during Michael Moyles term.

Mayo 0-6 to 1-2 up at half-time, Tara Needham bagging the lead score right on the hooter. Galway have the wind (and it’s blowing here like it always is) in the second half.

We won! Shauna Howley in the dying seconds after a huge, lung-bursting run by Ciara Needham. 0-10 to 1-6 FT.

Brilliant win Ladies....and what a way to win it.
I didn't think a 1 point lead at h.t was enough but fair play they dug deep.

A great win. I don't believe either team played well, but Mayo dug out a win and that's all they had to do. Well done to all involved.

Fantastic result for our Ladies. Galway left. the last 4 point chances behind them with the Atlantic wind behind them, the last 3 points for Mayo were outstanding . Mayo restarts were brilliant and brave against the Gale. I expect Galway might soon have a Mass said in Pearce Stadium. Com'on Mayo.
