Provincial wins for Galway and Kerry

Galway are Leinster hurling champions for the first time since 2012, after showing why they’re favourites to win the Liam McCarthy Cup.

A hugely impressive second half performance by the Tribesmen helped them pull away from Wexford to beat Davy Fitzgerald’s side by 29 points to 1-17 in yesterday’s final.

Joe Canning contributed 10 points from placed balls while Conor Cooney also scored an incredible 8 points from play.

Kerry are marching into yet another All-Ireland football quarter-final after a comfortable win over Cork in yesterday’s Munster final.

They beat their near neighbours by 1-23 to 15 points in Killarney.
