Turloughmore, the only team to win six Galway SHC titles in a row, will take on a St Thomas’ side who will be hoping to equal that record in two weeks when they meet in the final.

Both of them had a goal to spare in the Galway semi-finals at Pearse Stadium, with champions St Thomas’ edging out Sarsfields by 1-20 to 1-17, while Daithi Burke’s Turloughmore defeated a fancied Loughrea side by 2-22 to 1-22.
