Waterford booked their place in the league semi-finals as they weathered a Galway revival in the second half to emerge as eight-point victors.

Galway backed up their Walsh Cup success with a dramatic late win at Pearse Stadium when Jason Flynn hit two late points to snatch victory.

Jimmy Barry-Murphy has kept faith with the Cork side that bowed out of last year’s Championship by reinstating all but three of them for tomorrow’s Allianz League opener.
