Seven different Galway clubs – Portumna, Athenry, Sarsfields, St. Thomas’, Castlegar, Clarinbridge and Kiltormer – have climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand to accept the Tommy Moore Cup. Gort and Loughrea are two outliers, in that they are the only ones to have reached an All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship final and been unsuccessful.

For the first time since their remarkable run of unbeaten county final appearances began in 2012, St Thomas left Pearse Stadium on Sunday without the Tom Callinan Cup in their possession.

With the All-Ireland senior finalists now known after a dramatic weekend of action at Croke Park, the focus of the hurling world over the next few days will turn to Semple Stadium, as Galway hunt for yet more honours at both the minor and U20 age groups.
