SFC: Kerry 1-10 Galway 1-13FT

Galway get their first championship win over Kerry since 1965.

17:44

Goal - Kerry

Clifford pulls on a loose ball and it's a goal.

17:43

We're over additional time and the ref plays on, ridiculous.

17:43

Barry John Keane is wide of the target with virtually the last kick of the ball.

17:42

SFC: Kerry 0-10 Galway 1-13

Clifford taps over a free.

17:41

Goal - Galway

Game over as Patrick Sweeney lifts the net out of it.

17:40

Galway look far more composed at this stage.

17:38

Kerry can't get their hands on their own kick out at this stage.

17:37

SFC: Kerry 0-09 Galway 0-13

Walsh kicks this one from 35 metres and his effort sails over the bar.

17:36

Galway win the Kerry kick out again and win a free in after Burke is fouled.

17:34

SFC: Kerry 0-09 Galway 0-12

Varley kicks his second point in a row, before being injured.

17:33

Kevin McCarthy, Sean O'Shea and Jason Foley are the ones to make way.

17:32

Barry John Keane is coming on as well. So no Donaghy today, Kerry will lose now..

17:32

Donnchadh Walsh and Mark Griffin are coming on for Kerry. And still no sign of Donaghy.

17:31

SFC: Kerry 0-09 Galway 0-11

Sub Adrian Varley gets a very good score, 64 minutes played as Gary O'Donnell replaces Gareth Bradshaw.

17:30

Big ten minutes for Kerry who travel to Monaghan next weekend. If they lose here, the pressure is immense going up to Clones.

17:28

SFC: Kerry 0-09 Galway 0-10

Clifford is living off scraps, but he's just kicked his fourth point, 60 minutes played.

17:27

Back to the action and Shane Murphy kicks yet another free wide.

17:27

Maybe Young is a fan of Burger King and the umpire took exception to that.

17:26

He also must have mentioned Killian Young who receives a straight red card for an off the ball incident.

17:26

Umpire is telling him that he's hungry and asking can they stop in McDonalds on the way home.

17:25

Ah now Cassidy is running the length of the field to talk to the umpires, just get on with it ref..

17:24

SFC: Kerry 0-08 Galway 0-10

Kelly sets up Kyne and the corner back pops over a point.

17:23

Kerry almost in for a goal, but the final ball is cut out.

17:22

SFC: Kerry 0-08 Galway 0-09

Score of the game comes from the talented Walsh who shows great pace and balance to find room to shoot.

17:21

Intricate build up by Galway is over complicated and Kerry manage to clear.

17:20

Donaghy is out warming up..

17:19

Paul Murphy does really well to win the ball and get his pass off to Geaney, but the Kerry full forward hits the scoreboard with that effort.

17:18

Michael Burns comes on for O'Donoghue. Still no sign of Donaghy.

17:17

SFC: Kerry 0-08 Galway 0-08

Easy for Clifford as he clips over his third point of the game.

17:16

Galway's build up play is excellent, but their finishing is poor to say the least.

17:15

Murphy does well to get off his line quickly and clear the ball, terrible back pass by Maher who is just on the field.

17:14

Anthony Maher comes on for Jack Barry. Kerry will need to make a few changes by the looks of it.

17:14

SFC: Kerry 0-07 Galway 0-08

Comer is hauled down and eventually wins a free. Walsh taps over.

17:13

Bad wide by Peter Cook. It was a good move by Galway, but the finish didn't match.

17:12

O'Donoghue is unlucky there as he shot for a point comes back off the upright.

17:12

SFC: Kerry 0-07 Galway 0-07

Stephen O'Brien kicks a fine point, the sides are level after 44 minutes.

17:09

Paul Murphy is fouled. Murphy comes up from goals again. This time he goes for the score and kicks the ball high and about 30 yards wide.

17:08

This game is crying out for Kieran Donaghy to come on, field a high ball and set up a goal. No sign of the big man yet though.

17:07

Free to Kerry and Murphy comes up to kick this one which he gives short to Geaney, following a bit of confusion in the Galway square the ball is cleared.

17:05

SFC: Kerry 0-06 Galway 0-07

Sean Kelly is on the end of a good move to stick over a point.

17:04

Not much clean catching here which in fairness is no surprise really.

17:03

SFC: Kerry 0-06 Galway 0-06

Let's hope for a more exciting second half, good start as Geaney floats over a nice point.

17:02

Galway are out for the second half and here come Kerry.

16:45

Conditions are poor, but neither team have brought their 'A' game to Croker this afternoon.

16:44

SFC: Kerry 0-05 Galway 0-06 HT

A dire opening half thankfully comes to a close.

16:42

SFC: Kerry 0-05 Galway 0-05

16:38

SFC: Kerry 0-04 Galway 0-03

Great strike by Murphy from a Kerry free.

16:36

Eight additional minutes to played..

16:35

And Galway kick yet another wide. Silly decision making by the Tribesmen.

16:34

A sliding tackle by James O'Donoghue warrants a yellow card, which he receives.

16:33

Back to Croke Park and the exciting news is .... we're still waiting..

16:33

Novak Djokovic is Wimbledon champion again after he beat Kevin Anderson in straight sets.

16:32

SFC: Kerry 0-03 Galway 0-03

Clifford gets a second point, 30 minutes played.

16:32

Ok, the conditions are poor, but that only tells part of the story about how bad this game is.

16:31

Another Galway player down injured. There will be ten minutes of added time at this stage.

16:30

Croatia have just equalised against France, for anyone that's interested. 1-1.

16:30

So after almost 28 minutes of play, we've had five scores and a lengthy break for an injury to Paul Conroy.

16:29

This is like a training game, players in acre of space and no intensity the tackle by either side.

16:28

Peter Cook replaced Conroy.

16:28

The ref has blown for something else now that has most of Croke Park confused.

16:27

Game starts again..

16:25

Conroy still receiving treatment, both teams have gone into huddles.

16:23

Long delay expected.

16:23

Makes more of the point that the ref Barry Cassidy should have blown up a lot earlier than he did.

16:23

Paul Conroy is one of the injured players and looks like he is going to be stretchered off.

16:22

This ref is not doing himself any favours. Blows play up when Galway on the attack because two players are down injured and have been for the last two minutes.

16:21

Kerry are out of sorts here.

16:19

A third wide of the game for Kerry comes off the boot of James O'Donoghue.

16:18

SFC: Kerry 0-01 Galway 0-01

Galway are handed a handy free after Ian Burke is fouled. Shane Walsh takes the free and scores.

16:12

David Clifford just gave a 30 yard pass straight to an unmarked Galway defender, unreal stuff happening in the opening ten minutes.

16:11

Michael Daly has a pop, but the Galway forward is the latest to kick wide.

16:11

Some terrible passing in this one so far. I wonder is the soccer any better.

16:09

Harmless effort by Comer who kicks when under pressure and is shot goes well wide.

16:08

Wide for Galway as Eamonn Brannigan will be disappointed with that effort.

16:07

Kerry's Stephen O'Brien has a shot at goal, but his effort is wide.

16:07

Ruairi Lavelle comes forward to kick a free, but is effort is caught on the line by David Moran.

16:06

Slow start to this one, five minutes gone and it has yet to spark into life.

16:06

Damien Comer's effort is brought down from over the cross bar by Shane Murphy.

16:04

SFC: Kerry 0-01 Galway 0-00

Nice one two with Geaney and Kevin McCarthy with the latter scoring.

16:03

The floodlights are on in Croke Park.

14:00

We're underway at Semple.

13:58

Conditions in both Croke Park and Semple Stadium are greasy as mist descends all over the country.

13:55

Limerick play as selected.

13:54

Kilkenny Changes:

Rob Lennon in for Enda Morrissey, Richie Hogan on for Richie Leahy and Pat Lyng on for Ger Aylward.

08:46

Hopefully though it won't spoil the action as GAA chiefs will be keeping their fingers crossed that there is an improvement in standard, while they will also be hoping for a big crowd in Thurles, following yesterday's low attendance at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

08:44

There is persistent rain in these parts which could make conditions very greasy indeed.

08:44

However, the Kerry forwards are in sparkling form and they could well see their side over the line.

08:43

There are still question marks over the Kerry full back line and they will be up against a formidable Galway inside line.

08:43

The Kingdom ran out comfortable winners in last year's quarterfinal, but expect this one to be a lot closer.

08:42

In the second game at Croker, Kerry and Galway renew rivalries.

08:42

Both sides had good wins last weekend and are growing in confidence with each game. Kildare seem to be on a crest of a wave, but that will be well tested this afternoon. A tough one to call,but the Ulster side might just shade it.

08:41

At Croke Park, Kildare and Monaghan kick off proceedings in what is a very interesting clash.

08:40

Kilkenny are expected to recall the big guns this afternoon i.e Richie Hogan, Colin Fennelly and Walter Walsh if fit and this could give them an edge over their opponents.

08:40

This could benefit them as Limerick have hadn't a seriously competitive game since their defeat to Clare in the Munster SHC round robin phase.

08:39

The Shannonsiders were also in action last weekend, but they had a facile win over Carlow, while Kilkenny are heading for their third game in three weeks.

08:38

In hurling, Kilkenny have a quick turnaround from their Leinster SHC final defeat as they face Limerick in Semple Stadium.

08:38

On to today and we are more optimistic that these three games can deliver.

08:37

We think it's fair to say that the All-Ireland U20 football championship semi-finals really saved the day as we had two excellent games of football.

08:37

Clare, Tyrone and Dublin were all convincing winners as the Super 8's and hurling quarterfinal begun.

08:36

Let's be honest, yesterday's fare was poor to say the least and that goes for both codes.

08:36

More live action

The Super 8's and hurling quarterfinals continue today
