The first round games in the Galway senior and intermediate hurling championships have postponed by a week as a result of the county's footballers qualifying for the All-Ireland final.

Galway GAA last night issued a statement saying that the hurling championships will now start on the weekend of July 31 to avoid a clash with the Sam Maguire Cup decider against Kerry in a fortnight's time.

"Due to the achievement of the senior football team reaching the All-Ireland final and scheduling of the All-Ireland senior camogie semi-final, it has been necessary to review and revise the fixtures," the statement read.
