Galway outclassed Wexford in the second-half on the way to landing both the opening round NHL Division 1A points and also the Walsh Cup following Saturday's floodlight showdown at Chadwicks Wexford Park.Outside of a glut of wides, the home-side had appeared in fine fettle despite the sides tying on 0-10 apiece at half-time.But Galway supremo Henry Shefflin sprung Brian Concannon to devastating effect for the second-half, and despite a brace of outstanding saves from Wexford 'keeper Mark Fanning in the early stages, the Tribesmen outstripped the hosts by 0-13 to 0-5 in the closing period on the way to a runaway victory.Events pre-match took a worrying turn when a small fire to the rear of the covered Stand – leading to the evacuation of punters onto the pitch – brought a fifteen minute delay to throw-in.The protagonists each fielded league debutantes at number five – Conor Foley (Wexford) and Eoin Lawless (Galway) - while Galway were shorn of the Cooneys – captain Joseph, Kevin and John – owing to the sad passing of their grandmother.Wexford were hindered by poor finishing at the start – accounting for six of the first eight wides – while Damien Reck drew first blood from a free 100 yards out in the fifth minute, before Donal O’Shea snapped back on seven minutes.The home-side appeared to be sorting their radar when dashing ahead by 0-5 to 0-2 after twelve minutes as Conor McDonald (free), Mikie Dwyer and Charlie McGuckin (two) delighted their supporters.Kevin Foley was nudged out in a cracking goaling chance before Galway, having pegged it back to 0-6 to 0-4 through Conor Whelan and Evan Niland (free), earned a dubious penalty for an apparent holding offence on Niland.But Wexford ‘keeper Mark Fanning distinguished himself

The Tilos Project saw the island welcome Greece’s first hybrid power station, which produces energy from its very own wind farm and solar power generators. Visitors to the charming 63 sq km isle usually arrive by ferry from Rhodes and are more likely to run into curious partridges, rare herbs and endangered eagles than people. With more than 400 varieties of flora and fauna and over 150 species of birds, the island's 500 residents are cheerfully outnumbered by wildlife on what has been unofficially crowned Greece’s green island.
