Inspired switches bring Meath back from dead to beat Galway

Meath 2-12 Galway 1-12

With Padraig Joyce masterful at centre-forward, his cousin Nicholas dominant inside, Galway led by 1-6 to 0-0, and an annihilation looked on the cards. Even allowing for the strong diagonal wind that favoured the westerners, this was dominance on a regal scale. And suddenly, it all fell apart.

A Meath substitution, a number of inspired switches, and this game underwent a remarkable transformation.
