Sun June 25- Mens Senior Hurling- Galway v Fr. Tom Burke’s

 

Galway dominated the Senior Hurling Championship game last Sunday, taking the win against Fr. Tom Burke’s. Though Tom’s started off strong with 4 points in the opening minutes, they couldn’t hold onto the advantage for long. Points from Galway’s Mark Kennedy (11) and Shane Barrett (7) kicked off the game and then a goal from Kennedy (11) put them ahead of their rivals.  

Great play from Tom’s number 13, Richie Lalor, and number 8, Sam Quirke, kept them in the game. The first half came to an end with a point from Galway’s Kennedy (11), making it a five-point game at half time.  

Galway took over the game in the second half. They maintained possession for the majority of the game and though they tried, Toms just couldn’t secure the scores they needed. Two Galway goals put them further ahead and it seemed they were too far ahead to catch. The game finished with a final score of Galway 3-16 to Fr. Tom Burke’s 0-15.
