Clarinbridge set up Gort clash

THEY may have missed out on the trip of a lifetime to Australia, but Mark Kerins couldn’t be happier to have another Galway hurling final to look forward to.

While the Clarinbridge intermediate team warmed up the crowd in the Etihad Stadium, Melbourne at the weekend, the club’s seniors gave the assembled in Duggan Park Ballinasloe plenty to cheer as they marched past a determined Craughwell on Saturday.

“Ah yeah it was sad to miss out on the trip to Australia, but there will be other trips again,” said Kerins.
