Galway U21 B Final 16/04/2011 Cappataggle 1-19 Leitrim/Kilnadeema 0-13 It was a close encounter for much of the game with little seperating the teams. Cappataggle opened the scoring with a point from corner forward Emmett Malone. Cappy’s defence seemed to be under pressure from the off with Kilnadeema Leitrim keeping their forwards in good supply of ball but in fairness to the Cappy defence they dealt with the pressure very well with Cathal Maloney, Alan Loughnane and Kevin Kelly to the fore.

Byrnes scooped home the decisive goal in the final minute of extra-time after Kilmessan goalkeeper Mark Brennan could only manage to parry a rasping shot from Daniel Loughnane. Byrnes' goal edged Cappataggle in front and they secured victory moments later when Alan Dolan shot his tenth point of the match. It was rough justice on a Kilmessan side who were within touching distance of victory at Woodmount in Co. Roscommon at the end of normal time only to be denied by an equalising point from Dolan in the third minute of stoppage time. [read on]
