The latest sports news from The42.ie in 60 seconds
After their harrowing defeat to Tipperary last Sunday in Salthill, nine changes were made to the Galway team for this afternoon’s trip to Kilkenny and three in particular proved crucial, with Gavin Lee and Pádraic Mannion lording things in the backline while Declan McLoughlin made it three goals in two games with a brace of green flags, while adding in a couple of excellent points for good measure.
Over the course of the 70 minutes, Galway more than earned their victory. David Blanchfield and Huw Lawlor did their best to lock things down at the back and give Kilkenny a platform, while Aidan Tallis and Pádraic Moylan did enough to suggest they won’t relinquish their jerseys easily, but Keoghan carried too much of the scoring load up front for the Cats to deserve a result.
While the error count continued to be high, the contest was much livelier from the start of the second half, with Galway extending their lead through a run of scores from Gavin Lee, John Cooney and Cianán Fahy, then putting real daylight between the sides through McLoughlin’s second goal, slammed to the net after Tallis parried John Cooney’s initial shot.
