Portumna in shock as Saints march on

ST THOMAS created a huge shock when they sent three time All-Ireland club champions Portumna crashing out of the Galway SHC after a dramatic weekend of quarter-final action.

And reigning All-Ireland clubchampions Clarinbridge came from three points down to go ahead in injury-time only for Mullagh to equalise in the dying seconds of their last eight clash.

Portumna, who had only lost three of their previous 41 championship games in Galway, were ousted by a St Thomas side in a gripping contest at Ballinasloe.
