Ballinasloe are back-to-back Connacht Junior 1 hurling champions following a 3-14 to 3-10 victory over An Spidéal in Gort on Saturday (9th November 2024).
Jack Dillon's early goal gave the east Galway side an advantage but goals from Padráig and Cian Ó Conghaile put the west Galway team three points up.
The teams shared green flags after the break and it looked deadlocked entering the closing stages before a Cathal O'Hanlon free and another Jack Dillon three pointer secured the spoils for Ballinasloe.
Afterwards, Ballinasloe manager Derek Frehill joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on the QFinancial.ie Saturday Sports Show to give his reaction.
