Galway opened their All-Ireland Senior championship campaign with a 0-15 to 1-6 victory over Dublin at a rain-soaked Kenny Park in Athenry.
Following the concession of a goal early in the first half, Galway leaned heavily on the expertise of team captain Carrie Dolan and her dead ball skills as she was the only scorer for the Tribeswomen in that opening 30 minutes, registering four frees, one 45 and two from play leaving the sides level at half time, 0-7 to 1-4.
Galway proved too strong in the second half, outscoring the visitors by 0-8 to 0-2 in what were incredibly difficult conditions for the teams to show their quality.
