The Galway senior hurlers go into this Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Limerick as rank outsiders according to the odds compilers and given they have lost the last three times the counties have met in Croke Park at the business end of the championship then it may be hard to argue with that assessment.

For the sixth time in 10 years the Galway senior hurlers take on Tipperary in a knock-out championship game on Saturday evening (6.15pm), with the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick the venue on this occasion.

Next Sunday is by far the biggest day in the inter-county hurling calendar to date with both provincial finals taking centre stage.

The Galway senior hurlers recorded an extremely facile win over a depleted Westmeath side on Saturday in Mullingar, with a first-half Conor Whelan hat-trick among the highlights of a 6-33 to 0-17 victory.
