Last Minute Goal Deny’s Galway’s Leinster Championship Dream – Commentary And Reaction

Galway’s Senior Hurlers will play either Tipperary or Offaly in the All-Ireland Quarter Final on Saturday week following their one-point loss to Kilkenny in yesterday’s Leinster Final. Galway had come from eight points down and was leading by two in injury time when a late goal from Killian Buckley denied them their fourth-ever Leinster Senior Hurling Title.

Here is another opportunity to hear the commentary of the game again from Niall Canavan, Cyril Farrell and Sean Walsh.
