GOALKEEPER CONNOR GLEESON was Galway’s hero as he kicked a last-gasp free to beat Mayo and clinch a Connacht senior football championship three-in-a-row.
Gleeson’s late winner sparked joyous celebrations in Pearse Stadium, Salthill, and sent the Tribesmen into an All-Ireland group with the Ulster runner-up (Donegal or Armagh), Derry and Westmeath.
Mayo must now regroup as they prepare to face the Leinster winner (Dublin or Louth), Roscommon and Cavan when the round-robin stages begin.
SEAN O’SHEA KICKED 0-9 as Kerry sealed their fourth straight Munster senior football title with a seven-point win over Clare in Ennis.
Kerry’s 85th provincial crown places them in Group 4 of the All-Ireland series, alongside the Leinster runners-up, Monaghan, and Meath.
Clare go into Group 3 with the Ulster champions, Tyrone, and Cork.
