Heartbreak for Galway Senior Ladies In All-Ireland Quarter Final - Report

Galway's hopes of making the All-Ireland Ladies Football Senior Semi-Final were dashed in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday afternoon when a Shauna Howley point twenty seconds from full time saw Mayo snatch the win by a single point in Pearse Stadium.

A sixth minute goal from Lynsey Noone gave Galway a great start but Mayo rallied and led by 0-6 to 1-2 at the interval. The sides continued to trade scores in difficult conditions after the restart and extra-time seemed inevitable when they were level for the seventh time but Howley struck for her late winner after an intercept from deep by Ciara Needham set her up.
