P1LEADMeehan_1.JPG Longford 3-7 Galway 3-11 Galway boss Alan Mulholland wants his men to have a serious crack at promotion after carving out victory at Pearse Park. Mulholland said that their second win of the campaign now gives them a chance to bid for promotion to the top flight. “It’s a vital victory. We have four away games and they are hard to win.
