Galway tasted defeat for only the first time in the Allianz National Football League on Saturday evening in Croke Park losing out to Dublin by 2-19 to 2-13.
However, Padraic Joyce's side will take a lot from this defeat as they look forward to their final league game against Kerry and the start of the Championship in early April away to New York.
Also significant was the return of Annaghdown's Damien Comer who scored 1-2.
Here is the commentary of the game from Jonathan Higgins and Kevin Dwyer.
