Tom O’Sullivan went forward to shoot his second point of the game before midfielders Maher and Barry Dan O’Sullivan both got their second points of the contest.Sean O’Shea cut the gap to the minimum within four minutes of the restart with a free and one from play before Cathal Sweeney responded for Galway with a fisted effort.
He got a second from the right either side of two good frees from Shane Walsh and then sub Rob Finnerty landed one from the right to take a 1-12 to 0-12 lead into the final ten minutes.
