Brian Molloy stars as Galway set up final date with Cork

Galway 1-20 Wexford 0-11: Holders Cork will face familiar opposition in next month’s All-Ireland intermediate hurling final after Galway cruised to a maiden Leinster title success last night.

Anthony Cunningham’s Tribesmen, lining out with seven of their county U21s, built up an early lead in Portlaoise and used the cushion to repel a second-half Wexford revival.

Brian Molloy was ultimately Galway’s game breaker with 1-4 and the westerners finished with seven unanswered points to seal their August 8 decider spot, a repeat of last year’s semi-final, in convincing fashion.
