Comer goal helps Galway advance to Connacht final

Damien Comer's goal helped Galway progress to a Connacht Football Championship final with Sligo as Roscommon fell short in Dr Hyde Park.

The Rossies had Galway on the ropes after a rousing early second half showing, having offered little in the opening 35 minutes in which they trailed by four points.

Ciaran Murtagh's well-taken goal put Roscommon in front. But the visitors were settled when Comer followed up the ball coming off the post to hit the net.

Padraic Joyce's side were victorious as the brilliant Comer sealed it with the final point.
