This afternoon saw Ballyboden St. Enda's and Thurles Sarsfields claim Senior Hurling Championship titles in Dublin and Tipperary respectively, while Loughrea and Clarinbridge will have to meet again following their drawn Galway decider at Pearse Stadium.

COUNTY player Aonghus Callanan hit 0-5 from play as city side Liam Mellows, who won the last of their seven Galway SHC titles back in 1970, advanced to the quarter-finals at Athenry yesterday, seeing off Sarsfields 0-13 to 0-11.

GORT, runners-up two years ago and defeated in the semi-finals by Portumna last year, were surprisingly sent crashing out of this year’s Galway SHC title race when they lost to Tynagh Abbey-Duniry.

REIGNING champions Portumna sealed a place in the quarter-finals of the Galway senior hurling championship when they defeated Kinvara by 2-22 to 1-10 in a repeat of the 2007 county final.

Police chiefs issued a public warning about a letter bomb campaign to workers across the country today after it emerged that seven explosive devices have been posted in the last three weeks.
