In lots of ways, it was a wonder Galway were so close at the end when you consider how poorly they started and how much catching up they left themselves to do. They trailed by 0-6 to 0-1 after just eight minutes. The margin was still five points by the 19th minute. Galway did mount a huge charge in the second quarter but they can’t be chasing this game again now.
