4:46PM
Both Mulcahy and Brennan are going for a Galway win. Do you agree folks?

What a save by Colm Callanan! He dives at full stretch to his left to deny Paul Ryan and Dublin have to settle for a 65, which Ryan points.
A superb goal by Joe Canning and it’s followed by a scuffle between him and Dublin goalkeeper Alan Nolan, which results in both players being booked. It’s hard to see Dublin coming back from this.

Dublin substitute Paul Ryan gets his second point of the game before Ryan O’Dwyer chips in with his first.

Another free from Paul Ryan for Dublin, his fifth point of the game. But Cathal Mannion hits back for Galway to take his personal tally to 3-2. Galway’s forward line have scored 5-13 between them.

Another Ryan free is followed by a good point by Eamonn Dillon. Then a close-range free from Ryan goes over when a goal opportunity presented itself. Padraig Brehony responds for Galway, before Mark Schutte points for the Dubs. Dublin fans hoping for a comeback, it’s not looking likely.
Dillon finishes well after quick-thinking by Paul Ryan from a free. It reduces the gap to 12 but there won’t be enough time for Dublin to get close to Galway.
As it happened: Galway vs. Dublin, Leinster SHC quarter-final replay

Galway fans will be expecting more from Joe Canning today in Tullamore. His influence was curbed last week at Croke Park by a hand injury.
The winners of today’s game will face Offaly or Laois — who play tomorrow in Portlaoise (3.30pm) — in a Leinster semi-final on Saturday, 20 June.
One late change to the Galway team, with Daithi Burke coming in for Gearoid McInerney at wing-back.
