Rebels’ scoring burst of 2-3 at the start of the second half helped make it two from two in the league
It was a madcap game, part schoolyard hurling, part early-season fine-tuning. There were 53 scores over the course of the contest. Galway tallied 3-22 but still lost.
By the 41st minute the Rebels were 3-16 to 1-13 ahead, their rapid 2-3 volley changing the course of the game. Seán Twomey’s goal two minutes after the restart landed as a double blow on Galway’s jaw, with defender Oisín Salmon shown a second yellow card for a foul in the build-up to the strike. In one play Galway conceded a goal and lost a player.
However, Galway manager Henry Shefflin was not convinced the outcome would have been any different had Cork not burst from the traps after the interval. Still, the best performer in that opening half was Dalton, the Cork wing forward was like a magnet to the ball and caused Galway all sorts of problems with his physicality and endeavour. He moved to full forward during the second half and shook a few trees inside there as well.
