New faces  refresh Tribe  as Dubs fall flat

With 12 minutes of normal time remaining, Galway looked odds-on to break the 30-point mark when David Collins fired over from distance to put the home side 17 points ahead, 0-27 to 0-10.

Supported in no small part by fresh faces like Padraig Brehony and Cathal Mannion, they were by a considerable distance the sharper team with the better work-rate. Dublin, though, played their part in making it easier for them. Reduced to 14 men from the 42nd minute when Conal Keaney picked up a second yellow card, they had not only looked jaded but lead-footed for almost the entirety of the game.
