Robert Finnerty was taken off just before half-time with Shane Walsh following him at the break in Galway's 2-19 to 2-13 defeat by Dublin at Croke Park in Division 1 of the Allianz National Football League.
Padraic Joyce confirmed that errant finishing was the reason Robert Finnerty and Shane Walsh were taken off in Galway’s defeat by Dublin at Croke Park this evening.
Read More: Jim McGuinness is entitled to do exactly what he wants over compromised National Football LeagueRobert Finnerty, who was taken off on 32 minutes, will be wondering how he missed an open goal in the first half as he inexplicably palmed wide. “But in saying that, it was disappointing in the first half. After probably six minutes, we had a goal chance. That goal chance would have put us four up.
Joyce was then asked if the duo would play against Kerry next weekend. Galway will have to win that one if they want to make the League Final. “We're not really breaking the 20 score mark which is needed in a game. But on saying that, the fact that the rules were changed again during the week, that was probably the most pace I've seen in a game, to be honest.
“Look, he's been working hard since last November,” continued Joyce. “Obviously he's trying to get the body in shape so he can stand the test of robustness that's needed for these games.
