Galway to set up Cats final

THE SHAPE of this year’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship should become a little clearer by tea-time on Sunday evening when the Munster and Leinster finalists will both — barring draws — become known, along with the eight-team line-up for the upcoming qualifiers.

An unchanged final pairing looks on the cards in Leinster, too, with Galway firmly expected to take care of business against Offaly at O’Moore Park, Portlaoise on Sunday (throw-in 3.30 pm) and join the Cats in a July 3 Croke Park final.
