Five Galway players have been named as hurling's rising stars with selection on the Electric Ireland Higher Education GAA Championship Hurling Team of the year.

St Thomas’ yet again delivered the goods on the big day, producing an assured performance last Sunday to win the Galway Senior Hurling Championship crown by 0-20 to 0-17 over Clarinbridge.

Clarinbridge are well aware that nothing but their best form will be good enough to claim the club’s third senior hurling title on Sunday afternoon at Pearse Stadium when they take on the might of St Thomas’ with the Tom Callanan Cup up for grabs (throw-in 1pm).

Clarinbridge made history in some style last weekend, becoming the first club to qualify for a county final having started the year in senior B since the current championship structure was introduced back in 2017.

A highly satisfactory National League campaign concluded for Galway with a 3-25 to 2-22 victory over Cork on Sunday that saw Shane O’Neill’s men top Group A and, for now, claim the joint winners tag with Kilkenny.
