Galway 2-20 Sligo 0-12
A 20-year gap bridged as Galway tidily took care of business and stride forward into the All-Ireland series with intent.
It’s rare these days that a team wins an All-Ireland without having established some level of domination in their own province and so this 14-point victory is a positive portent for Galway with the round robin series approaching when they will have Tyrone, Westmeath and the losers of the Ulster final between Armagh and Derry for company.
