Kilkenny will relish crack at us, warns Micheál Donoghue

Micheál Donoghue and his Galway management team looked a little agitated in the closing stages as Dublin turned a seven-point half-time deficit into a one-point lead with six minutes remaining, but in the heat of the battle the Tribesmen excelled in Salthill.
Without Joe Canning, Johnny Coen, Adrian Tuohey, and Jonathan Glynn, Galway were without many of their biggest leaders and characters, but captain David Burke was retained and stepped up with two late points while Jason Flynn was flawless throughout.
