BBC Sport NI at Croke ParkMost things have gone right for Galway in that first half - they've only hit one wide as against Kerry's seven - but they are still only a point ahead of a Kingdom team that haven't played to anything like their potential so far.
Shane Walsh has nailed on his All-Star with that first-half display but will he and his colleagues be able to maintain that level of energy?

Former Donegal forward on BBC Radio FoylePaudie Clifford has barely touched the ball. Sean O'Shea has barely been in the game, but then Damien Comer's barely touched leather for Galway. It's nip and tuck and it could go down to the wire. Both teams will be both happy and disappointed with certain aspects.

Galway get a long kick-out right and it results in a fine score from midfielder Cillian McDaid, who's had an exceptional season for the Tribesmen.
Connor Gleeson found Patrick Kelly, who fed Rob Finnerty before McDaid stepped in to kick over. Lovely move.

Deary me. Connor Gleeson's restart goes horribly awry, kicking straight into David Clifford's path, but Galway get away with it as Stephen O'Brien jinks and jives and puts the ball wide at the end of it all.
That's six Kerry wides already.

David Clifford expertly claims another high ball. That was like watching an NBA player leaping through the air.
He knocks the ball over. The three-time All-Star is well up for this.
