Jordan Morris struck 1-6 from play in a stunning attacking display for the Royals, while substitute Conor Gray also grabbed a crucial goal and Mathew Costello impressed with four points. Galway, beaten All-Ireland finalists in two of the last three seasons, saw their 2025 campaign end at the quarter-final stage after a display where they failed to fire for long stages. Cillian McDaid and Liam Silke both found the net during the second half but Padraic Joyce’s side were forced to give way to a superior Meath outfit.
