Crazy scenes as Galway penalty shootout celebrations cut short over bizarre goal

A Galway Championship game provided an ultimate moment of drama on a penalty shootout after an enthralling game.

Dunmore and Claregalway battled it out in their U19 A Championship match and could not be separated by the end.

The two sides were level 1-06 to 0-09 after extra time with this Championship match going to penalties.

And in the football final, Dunmore held a 3-0 lead in penalties with Claregalway stepping up and a miss would mean a Championship win for Dunmore.

In the penalty shootout, Dunmore's goalkeeper saved the penalty to spark jubilant scenes.

But in a bizarre turn, the saves shot looped into the goal while Dunmore players were celebrating causing the shootout to continue.

But the reprieve was short lived with Dunmore slotting the winning penalty with the next kick.
