Dublin close in on league final spot after comfortable win over Galway

THE OUTCOME WAS never in doubt from an early stage as Dublin cruised to a comfortable victory over a depleted Galway outfit at a wintry Pearse Stadium in Salthill.

The homeside were always chasing the game and, once again, looked short of ideas up front in the absence of injured attackers Shane Walsh, Damien Comer and Matthew Tierney, as well as inspirational captain, Seán Kelly.The teams traded scores early on before Dessie Farrell’s side took control and four points in quick succession — three from the aforementioned O’Callaghan — saw them open up some daylight after a quarter of an hour.

The remaining quarter of an hour was little more than a training spin for the Metropolitans while Galway, to their credit, kept plugging away and added four further points to their tally.
