Canning scoring spree not enough to halt Turloughmore

Joe Canning hit 0-13 for Portumna, but it was not enough to stop the three-times All-Ireland club champions crashing out of the Galway SHC at the quarter-final stage to Turloughmore.

Inspired by Galway captain Fergal Moore, Turloughmore, who reached their first semi-final since 2004 with a 0-17 to 0-15 win, face either Mullagh or Loughrea in the last four after those sides ended level at Ballinasloe yesterday (1-13 to 0-16).

It looked like Portumna and Turloughmore might have to do it again themselves as they were deadlocked at 0-15 each, but points from Gary Burke and Darren O’Shaughnessy secured victory.
