Galway have five players on our hurling team of the week while Dublin have four ...
1. Colm Callanan (Galway)
Pulled off a brilliant first-half save to deny Colm Cronin a goal and can be pleased with his clean sheet.
2. Sean McCullagh (Derry)
McCullagh and the Oak Leaf County will grace the hallowed Croke Park turf for a first ever Christy Ring Cup final appearance next Saturday.
3. Paud Costelloe (Kerry)
The Ballyduff clubman and his defensive colleagues kept the Kildare attack well under wraps in Newbridge.
4. Padraic Mannion (Galway)
Mannion's determined performance was one of the highlights from Galway's point of view.
5. Anton Rafferty (Derry)
Got on the scoresheet with a point as Derry finished with five points to spare (0-23 to 2-12) over Ulster rivals Down.
6. Iarla Tannian (Galway)
Exerted a greater influence as the game wore on and Galway supporters will be looking for more of the same in Saturday's replay.
7. Conal Keaney (Dublin)
Keaney used his experience to good effect as Dublin took over in pole position following the change of ends.
8. John Griffin (Kerry)
The Kerry captain led by example as they dethroned Christy Ring champions Kildare in impressive fashion.
9. Aidan Harte (Galway)
Came to the Tribesmen's rescue with the equalising point from out on the left in the 70th minute.
10. Danny Sutcliffe (Dublin)
The 2013 All Star chipped in with three points from play but had to settle for a share of the spoils at the final whistle.
11. Ciaran Brenan (Sligo)
Centre-forward Brennan registered 3-4 as the Yeats County qualified for the Lory Meagher Cup final courtesy of a 19-point success over Fermanagh.
12. Mikey Boyle (Kerry)
The Kildare defence will be glad to see the back of the opportunistic Boyle who found the back of their net four times on Saturday.
13. Cathal Mannion (Galway)
Took the fight to Dublin throughout the seventy minutes and, along with Cyril Donnellan, found the target with three points.
14. David Treacy (Dublin)
Won't care to be reminded of his late missed free but, otherwise, made a significant contribution with a personal tally of 0-11 which included 8 frees and 2 65s.
15. Mark Schutte (Dublin)
Gave his marker Johnny Coen plenty of food for thought in the first-half and finished the contest with three points to his credit.
