Galway keep their heads

YOU knew it was death or glory when helmets were flung at the sideline with ten minutes left in yesterday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final at headquarters.

Galway held their heads in a throbbing finish to beat Tipperary by two points, 2-20 to 2-18.

The second game went according to expectations, but Kilkenny never got so far ahead of Limerick that the Shannonsiders couldn't ride their slipstream, the game ending 0-18 to 0-13.
