Level pegging at half-time between Kildare and Galway in National League final

Kildare and Galway have gone in level at the break in Croke Park in their National League Division 2 final.

A Mark Donnellan point from a '45 two minutes before the break looked to have given the Lilywhites a slender advantage going towards the half-time whistle, but Shane Walsh levelled matters with the last kick of the ball.

It has been a relatively lifeless affair so far as Galway have opted to drop plenty of men back, and the Tribesmen have been incredibly wasteful on front of goal too. They've registered nine wides to Kildare's four, but they have looked threatening when attacking at pace.

David Hyland has been the standout player for Kildare, and he kicked the best score of the half five minutes before the interval, while Niall Kelly and Kevin Feely have also chipped in with a couple of points each. Whatever breeze is in the stadium, Kildare will be playing against it in the second half.
