Mullen wary as Galway bid for hat-trick over Cork teams

GALWAY are the only county in line to win all four hurling titles this season, and having knocked Cork out in both minor and intermediate, will fancy their chances in the under 21 All-Ireland semi-final in Limerick today (3.30pm).

Coach Vincent Mullen plays down chances of a clean sweep, preferring to concentrate on a semi-final he feels will be very difficult to win: "Galway are having an excellent season with three teams in All-Ireland finals. We don't want to be the team to let the county down but under age teams can be something of an unknown entity.

"This is our first championship outing and I honestly don't know how good we are. We have a very experienced side but there is nothing like a competitive match to tell you about your players.
