A last-gasp drop-goal from Ciaran Gaffney saw Galwegians snatch victory at the death against UL Bohemians in a tense top-of-the-table encounter at Crowley Park on Saturday.
Both sides came into this game with two wins each from their opening two games, so there were high hopes of an entertaining spectacle. Wegians started with aplomb when they took the lead as early as the second minute. Playing with a stiff first-half breeze, they went on the offensive right from the kick-off. A deft offload by centre Brian Murphy released full-back John Cleary down the left. Although the veteran was held up just short, he found Matt Dever on his shoulder and the left-winger continued his rich vein of form to score his fifth try in four games under the posts, with Dave Clarke converting for an early 7-0 lead.
However the visitors didn’t panic, and they soon managed to work their way back into the game. Wegians were ominously getting on the wrong side of referee Eddie Hogan-O’Connell, coughing up four penalties in the opening ten minutes alone. Bohs out-half Shane Airey was wide with a 7th minute penalty attempt, but it worked to their advantage as the visitors charged down the 22 kick-out. And from a resulting line-out penalty, captain Ed Kelly got on the end of a rolling maul to cross for a try in the tenth minute, which was converted by Airey to pull the sides level…… for thr full story follow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.galwegians.ie/match/2014/09/27/firsts-13-ul-bohemians-10/
