Dublin 2-27 Galway 1-24 A STRAIGHT RED card to Galway ’s 2017 All-Ireland winning captain David Burke after just 16 minutes proved decisive as Henry Shefflin’s side were sent crashing out of this year’s championship in their own backyard at Pearse Stadium.
Dublin, forced to start without hamstring victim Cian O’Sullivan, won the toss and opted to play into the strong wind in the opening half, and were in a very strong position when they went in trailing by just two points at the break at 0-19 to 2-11. At that stage Galway were leading by 0-9 to 1-2 but in the next eight minutes Dublin outscored them by 0-6 to 0-2, with Donal Burke leading the way for Dublin.
Galway were unable to cope with Dublin’s pace and aerial power and the Tribesmen managed only three pointed frees from Evan Niland in the opening 27 minutes of the second half. Galway, trailing by 2-22 to 0-22, got a glimmer of hope from another substitute when Declan McLoughlin blasted home a goal after 62 minutes.
