Leitrim got within a point with the wind behind them midway through the second-half
Galway, having had the breeze behind them, led by 0-6 to 0-2 at the break despite shooting seven wides to Leitrim’s one as both teams were hampered by the conditions.
The Galway attack looked sharper from the outset with Jake Slattery shooting three excellent points in the opening half off both feet. Paul Moran opened Leitrim’s account with a free from 30 metres after 14 minutes and Ben Guckian, son of manager Benny, kicked an excellent point to leave them four adrift at the interval.
But that was as close as they got and after missing a couple of chances to equalise, they paid a big price as Galway regrouped.
