The Premier County were sluggish throughout the match at Pearce Stadium and trailed the Tribesmen throughout.
Tipp had a late surge which resulted in a goal with five minutes from time but it wasn't enough and it ended Galway 3-16 Tipperary 1 -19.
Speaking afterwards Tipp Manager Eamon O'Shea admits it was very disappointed and accepts the buck stops with him but insisted the side has been training very hard but those efforts don’t appear to be translating on to the pitch match time.
The Premier County now go on to play Dublin in Round 5 of the Allianz Hurling League Sunday the 23rd at 3 pm
