Keane points Galway to glory

Barry Keane’s six point haul helped Galway claim the All-Ireland Vocational Schools hurling title at windy Thomastown on Saturday.

The flying half-forward’s tally, four of which were scored in the second half, saw the wind assisted Tribesmen overturn a one point interval deficit (0-6 to 0-5) to take the spoils.

Scores were hard to come by over the hour, but Dara Dolan (2) and Keane cancelled out a Conor Martin free as the Connacht side edged ahead (0-8 to 0-7) with 12 minutes remaining.
