Galway have concluded their group games in the Walsh Cup with a third victory.
They beat Antrim 1-31 to 2-15 at the Darver Centre of Excellence. Cappataggle’s Jarlath Mannion got Galway’s goal in the first half.
Wexford beat Kilkenny 1-25 to 2-18 this evening but Galway won't know their final opponents until Sunday, when Laois play Offaly.
Laois must win by 25 points to reach the final; if they win but by less than that, then Kilkenny will advance; should Laois fail to beat Offaly, then Wexford will advance on head-to-head.
The Walsh Cup Final is fixed for next Saturday (28th January) in Croke Park at 3pm.
