Although nine points down (3-12 to 0-12) after Cianan Fahy blasted a 47th minute shot to the net Kilkenny didn’t quit. They ate into the deficit, clawing their way back thanks to points from Richie Leahy (0-2), James Bergin, Conor Hennessy and John Donnelly.
Although Kilkenny had the breeze in the second half, but Galway took the wind out of their sails when Sean Bleahane broke through to rifle home their second goal after 35 minutes. With Brian Concannon, Niland (free) and Kevin Cooney tacking on points they moved further and further ahead, going nine points up when Fahy goaled 13 minutes from time.
