Gallen CS qualified for the North Leinster final by virtue of this excellent win against a tough Clonaslee VS side in their semi final match played in Ferbane on Friday February 1st.Gallen after a tough contest with Kilcormac VS in the quarter finals, were ready for this semi final tussle.A good start is always half the battle and Gallen helped by 1-2 from Luke Coleman in the first five minutes got that start.
Clonaslee did hit back with a goal but Gallen midfield began to get on top and a ready supply of ball into their forward line saw them hit three more goals in the first half to lead by 4-7 to 3-1.
In the second half Gallen added two more goals to close out the game with Ciaran Lally and Eoin Tighe making contributions. The tight Gallen defence limited Clonaslee to 0-2 in the second half.Well done to all the team and their mentors Mr .Garry and Georgie Phibbs.
