Galway salvage pride with defeat of Tipperary

Galway 2-15 Tipperary 1-10

In a game that never reached the same heights of the drawn one a fortnight ago, there was never any doubt about the outcome after Justin Campbell blasted home his side's second goal just on the stroke of half-time.

Stung by the shattering defeat in the Under-21 final, the westerners were clearly in determined mood not to suffer a second All-Ireland defeat in a week, and while Tipperary stayed in contention for most of the first half, they could never match the hunger of the Galway side who took complete control on the changeover to run out comfortable winners.
