After a difficult first-half for the away side, Galway began to open up in the second half with two quick-fire goals that their dominance deserved. These goals, followed by a last-minute strike by debutant Martin Farragher, gave Galway a 13-point win over Sligo in Sunday's Connacht Senior Football Championship semi-final in Markievicz Park.

As expected, Roscommon qualified for a Connacht semi final showdown with Mayo on Saturday week after a facile and straightforward win over Leitrim.
