Galway 1-19 Wexford 1-21

UCC capped a superb week by claiming their third successive All-Ireland Freshers (1) hurling crown, to complement Saturday’s Fitzgibbon Cup triumph, in an absorbing decider against UL in Mallow yesterday.

GALWAY minor boss Mattie Murphy has rewarded Dean Higgins and Jack Carr for their dazzling showings when introduced as substitutes in their semi-final win over Clare, by naming them in his starting 15 for tomorrow afternoon’s All-Ireland final against Dublin.

CONFUSION reigned at the end of normal time in this absorbing All-Ireland MHC semi-final but ultimately it was Galway who reacted better to the surprise of the additional 20 minutes.

GALWAY’S minor hurlers blitzed Antrim with three goals in less than five minutes during the opening half of this lopsided All-Ireland quarter-final at Parnell Park on Saturday.
