Meehan class tears Donegal to shreds'

Galway 1.16 Donegal 0.12

Galway's rise continued at Pease Stadium as Donegal were put to the sword. Three factors are contributing to the expectation in Galway  - a defence that has yet to concede a goal in four matches, a greater physicality in the exchanges and Michael Meehan at full forward.
Meehan continues to improve with every performance as he scored as much as the entire Donegal team, notching 1.09 in a magnificent display. He scored 1.05 in the first half as Galway built up a 1.11 to 0.02 interval lead having played with the wind.
And while Galway conceded seven points without reply at one stage in the second period, they never looked like conceding there first goal of the campaign as they made it four wins on the trot.

Galway: A Faherty; N Coyne, F Hanley, D Burke; G Bradshaw, D Blake, D Mullahy; J Bergin, B. Cullinane, S Armstrong, P Joyce, M.Lydon; D. Dunleavy, M Meehan, N Joyce.
