Hard to listen to Martin Carney on the vinegar strokes during commentary. Mayo well up for it though and look flying fit. Galway haven’t really got off the bus.
Better second half. Tomo Culhane will hopefully get serious gametime this year and that’s about it really. It never got going for the likes of Finnerty, Tierney or Ian Burke. The Baysht make an impact too.
In the smallball one of the lads is raving about Donal O’Shea. Was he that good this evening?
At least they they made their point during the 2nd half. Wouldn’t have been ideal to have shipped a beating. Even if it was only FBD. Bad 2nd quarter cost them really. Mayo look flying fit so I’d say they have plenty work done already.

Nobody stuck their hand up to slot in for Silke or Molloy anyways over FBD. Hopefully the league will sort that.
They will need Silke back for sure. Worryingly I heard John Fallon on a podcast there during the week saying that some in Corofin don’t expect Silke back this year at all while Galway management expect him back in April.

I heard Silke wasn’t making himself available for champo at all this year and that Mike Daly wasn’t even asked.
Did nothing really of note that would push him into a starter. Galway as a package managed the game, scoreline and elements very well. Dublin were poor. Their best two players were under 20s. The lone Galway supporter was a credit to his county.

O flaherty from salthill impressed me last week. How’d he do today? Is Silke not back for championship?
Edit. Only saw iggys post now.

O’Flaherty was sloppy enough in possession. That Kirrane lad wasn’t much better when he came on at HB.

EVAN NILAND FIRED 1-11 as he led University of Galway to victory in their Fitzgibbon Cup opener away to MTU Cork.
The Clarinbridge clubman is putting his hand up for more involvement with the Galway hurlers under Henry Shefflin this year after scoring 0-24 in their two Walsh Cup outings and he carried that form into Wednesday night’s game.
While only one point of his Walsh Cup tally has come from open play, he drifted off of Cork centre-back Ciarán Joyce to find pockets of space all over the Cork campus, landing 1-7 from open play, including the crucial 42nd-minute goal.
