None the less, Offaly's supporters will be proud of them as despite the concession of an early and potentially damaging Brian Concannon goal, they rallied, they hassled and they never ever gave up the ghost.
Shane Dooley was quick to respond with a goal for Offaly and that kept them ticking over. For Galway, Joseph Cooney was running riot and he had 1-4 to his name from open play by the time this game was 25 minutes old.
Eoghan Cahill pulled off a great save from a Joe Canning penalty and that helped to keep Galway in sight, but with Cathal Mannion and Conor Whelan making their presence felt, it was only a matter of time before Galway lengthened their stride and put distance between the sides.
Indeed, that man Cahill had a busy championship debut, but he proved that he was more than up for the challenge. Were it not for the Birr man between the sticks, Galway would certainly have had at least two if not three more goals scored.
Not only was his shot-stopping impressive, but also his distribution and his point-taking from long range frees.
At half-time there was five points between the sides, with the men in maroon leading by five points on a scoreline of 2-9 to 1-7.
Galway put the foot down in the second half with Concannon registering his second goal on an impressive championship debut.
Joe Bergin got one back but that was as good as it got for the home side. Conor Whelan would hit them for a three pointer before substitute Jason Flynn would do the same.
That helped Offaly to a 5-18 to 2-15 victory.
All the talk was about that man Cahill.
