Thu, Jul 25, 2019

The Galway minor hurlers are preparing for an All-Ireland semi-final showdown with Wexford this coming Sunday in Croke Park (throw-in 1.30pm) after eventually seeing off the determined challenge posed by Clare last weekend in Portlaoise.

Clare were suddenly only three points away from their ultimate target of a six-point winning margin which would have seen them through.
