Round-up/Women's NFL: Galway remain on course for the Division One National Football League title following their 3-6 to 2-6 semi-final victory over Monaghan in Tuam yesterday.
A goal by Geraldine Conneally five minutes before the interval gave Galway a 1-3 to 0-5 lead, and they never relinquished their advantage. Lorna Joyce added a second goal three minutes into the second half, before Conneally was dragged to the ground by Monaghan goalkeeper Annemarie Burns. Niamh Fahy converted the penalty to put Galway 3-5 to 0-5 ahead.
Galway will meet Cork in the decider, after they beat Waterford 6-11 to 2-6 at Fraher Field .
LEINSTER U-21 FC: Dublin progressed to a fifth consecutive under-21 Leinster football final with a 1-11 to 2-6 win over Longford on Saturday.
Manager Paddy Canning hopes to call on midfielder John Coughlan and John O'Brien for the final with Kildare on April 16th. However, Declan O'Mahony is not expected to recover from a broken bone in his foot.
Four points from Mark Vaughan helped Dublin to a 0-6 to 0-5 lead at the interval.
A goal from Mark Davoren nine minutes into the second half, after good link play by Ger O'Meara, seemed to set Canning's side up for a comprehensive victory but a brace of goals from Declan Farrell and Declan Morgan, followed by a point from Brian Kavanagh tied up the match.
It took late scores from the excellent Bernard Brogan and Davoren to fend off Longford.
Kildare progressed thanks to an easy 3-16 to 0-7 win over Meath in Mullingar.
Kildare led by 0-7 to 0-2 after 23 first-half minutes when Meath midfielder Mark Ward was dismissed for retaliation following a challenge from James Lonergan. The defending champions controlled the game from that point.
