After the restart Galway dominated. Finnerty and Shane Walsh two pointers had them 2-12 to 0-13 prior to a 50th minute Kirwan score which left four between the teams.<\/p>\n
Then Galway reeled off 1-6 without reply. Finnerty supplied the goal in the 54th minute following smart approach work by Walsh and Conroy.<\/p>\n
Comer\u2019s subsequent point drew an approving roar from the locals, while Finnerty continued to torment the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n
Lively Kildare substitute Jack Robinson terminated a 14 minute search for a Kildare score, but Galway closed out the deal with the minimum of fuss.<\/p>\n
