Galway's first half performance really got their fans believing that the upset could be on.
They went in at the break up by 0-8 to 0-7 and generally were more cohesive side while it was the favourites Kerry who seemed to be more affected by nerves around the big day.
This was evident in the wide count where a clinical Tribesmen outfit only registered one in the opening 35 minutes while The KIngdom sent six wide of the target.
