GAA: Galway reach All-Ireland final with win over Cork

First half goals proved crucial as Galway reached their first All-Ireland final since 2019 as they defeated Cork 2-7 to 0-10 in the All-Ireland ladies football semi-final.

Cork had a win over Galway already this season in the championship, but Galway have been a new side since that defeat.

On a high after their win over Dublin, Galway wasted no time to race into the lead, as a penalty from Róisin Leonard put them 1-2 to 0-3 ahead after 15 minutes.

Galway had their second goal just before half-time through Ailbhe Daveron as they took a 2-4 to 0-5 lead into the interval.

While Cork improved in the second half and created more chances, Galway once again put in a strong defensive performance, as they held on for victory.
