Galway ran out 3-21 to 14 point winners of today’s National Hurling League Final against Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds.

Galway took an early lead in the game with points from Joe Canning and Jason Flynn. Flynn’s attempt on goal in the opening half was well saved by Darren Gleeson – but Galway were still up 11 points to 5 at half time.

Tipperary had their work cut out in the second half as Galway came out all guns blazing with a Jason Flynn goal inside the first minute of the second half – making up for his saved opportunity in the first half.

He followed that up with a second goal in the 56th minute of play to put Galway 12 points ahead. Cathal Mannion then got Galways third goal ten minutes later.
