A point from Galway captain Conor Whelan in the fifth minute of added time rescued a draw in this Leinster SHC clash with Kilkenny at Pearse Stadium.
The Cats looked set for victory when TJ Reid put them two up going into stoppage time but after Evan Niland reduced the margin to the minimum, Whelan struck the equaliser from distance.
Kilkenny led by 0-16 to 1-09 at the break after playing with the strong breeze.
Galway got on top initially and were good value for their 0-04 to 0-01 lead after seven minutes with two points from Cathal Mannion and one apiece from Brian Concannon and Cianan Fahy.
