40 min: Nickey Joyce again for Galway, this time from a free after a foul by Eoin Cotter. The latter gets a yellow too.

38 min: Nickey Joyce with the score of the game so far. A marvellous point from far out on the left. A badly-needed point for Galway.

35 min: Missed chance for Galway to reduce the gap before the break. Meehan finds Joe Bergin; you'd expect a resulting point but he badly miscues and sends it wide.

34 min: Better from Galway. Or rather better from Nickey Joyce. He turns inside Eoin Cotter; Cotter fouls him; Joyce has an easy free and duly converts.

31 min: Cork are rampant. Slow, patient build-up before Paddy Kelly, on his right foot, drops it over the bar. Seven between them now.

21 min: Great point for Galway as Michael Meehan, surrounded by three Cork backs, still manages to pop the ball over.

17 min: Donnacha O'Connor again for Cork. The rebels well on top right now.

16 min: Donnacha O'Connor points for Cork. The home side leads by two.

15 min: Finian Hanley is adjudged to have fouled Colm O'Neill. Looks a soft one. Paddy Kelly pops it over to put Cork in the lead.

13 min: Ger Spillane releases Paul O'Flynn who ties it up for the Rebels.

12 min: Joe Bergin, normally a midfielder, is in at full-forward tonight for Galway but the Mountbellew man has made little impact in the opening stages.

10 min: Armstrong appears to have pulled his hamstring as he fired over that last point. He's still down. And now he's been helped from the pitch. Blow for Galway. Armstrong is replaced by Cillian de Paor, brother of Galway legend Seán Óg.
