James O’Donoghue got the opening goal of the game for Kerry with 13 minutes played, but a superb solo effort from Tom Flynn found the net for the Tribesmen to keep them in touch at the break.
Michael Lundy netted for Galway after half-time to keep the pressure on, but a total of 15 wides ultimately cost Galway dear.
