Nearly 50 minutes on the clock and we're yet to see a two-pointer this afternoon.

It's just not what we've been used to seeing this year.

Perhaps the introduction of reigning footballer of the year Paul Conroy can jolt Galway into life.

Shane Walsh's blushes are spared. Tried the dummy, ended up on his backside, but Meath weren't able to capitalise.
This has extra-time written all over it, I'm reluctant to say.
