Galway can see danger in the Derry air
DERRY haven’t won a competitive match all season and are in the last chance saloon against Galway at Celtic Park on Sunday (2pm).
And that makes them highly dangerous opponents for the Tribesmen, especially after their blazing finish against All-Ireland champions Armagh at the weekend.
Derry were 13 points down and only for spurning a heap of goal chances could have pulled off the most sensational of comebacks, losing by 2-21 to 2-17 in the end.
Team boss Paddy Tally says the clash with Galway is now their biggest game of the season and that it’s a “must win” for last year’s league champions.
Having been edged out by Dublin, Galway look a little vulnerable heading up North but at least they know Sunday’s showdown should be no walk in the park.
