Galway Senior Hurling Club Championship

Over the past two seasons on the local club scene, the debate around the most consistent player in the senior championship most likely comes down to two men from the same household.

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 fourth time, including replays, neighbours Loughrea and St Thomas’ will go toe-to-toe for Galway hurling’s biggest prize on Saturday evening in Pearse Stadium (6pm). And if history tells us anything, the margins will once again be razor thin.

For the second weekend in succession, Pearse Stadium will host Galway GAA’s marquee fixtures under the Saturday night lights as the Galway Senior Hurling Championship semi-finals take centre stage.

St Thomas’ astonishing run of county senior hurling title wins now stretches to five in a row after last Sunday’s gripping replay against Loughrea.

SOME OF the finest traditional musicians and singers from the west of Ireland, including the great Inishbofin singer Dessie O'Halloran, join forces for the upcoming Bofin to Burren concert.
