Holders Roscommon keep battling Galway at bay
The Tribesmen finished the match with 13 men, having lost midfielder Michael Daly to a second yellow card on the stroke of half-time and sub Joseph Donnellan to a black card in the 48th minute when Galway had used six subs.
But a slicker Roscommon side, who were blighted by a number of injuries coming into the match, always kept their noses in front with the full-forward line of Diarmuid Murtagh, Hubert Darcy and Cathal Callinan contributing 1-8 between them.
