Big win by Craughwell today. Some finish to the game. Some really good scores today. Young leen was really good for Craughwell as was john cooney. I say we all thought sarsfields had the game after their last goal but Craughwell got themselves back into a great position and gave sarsfields the knockout blow. On another note never seen so many backroom staff getting sent off before.

Oranmore turlough game was good up to the 50th minute when turlough took over the game completely. Oranmore were unlucky not to get the goal that would have brought them back to within a point of turlough,for turlough to go down and score another goal to make it 7. Oranmore were bet by the better team today . They had serious momentum in the group stages and maybe the loss to tommies knocked them back a small bit.Oranmore are an up and coming team probably lacked that killer instinct after getting into such a good position at the start but that will come in time.
Rory Burke is one for the future and hopefully can nail down a spot with galway in 2026.

St Thomas's left it late. Hard luck to Tommy Larkins. Well done to Beagh and Kinvara. Craughwell and Sarsfields was great. Too bad someone had to lose. Hard luck to Ballinderreen but there's no stopping Cathal Mannion.

Larkin's well worth their place in the quarter-finals based on today's showing. A heartbreaking way to lose, but fair play to Thomas's. Some brilliant games already this weekend, with last puck goals winning two of the quarters.

Error from Larkins really that handed it to Thomas's at the end. It looked like Larkins had all 6 defenders sucked in for the refs throw in. If they had only kept their shape and had a couple of defenders goalside of the ruck they'd probably have prevented the goal.

Very true but Thomas's had three bad wides in a row prior to the last second goal. Funny thing is I didn't hear Victor Manzos name at all until that last second goal. Exciting stuff.

Crazy match between Loughrea and Clarenbridge. Teirnan Killeen is a beast. Sad for the Bridge but Loughrea finished the stronger team.

Loughrea showed what champions are made of in that second half.

They sure did. That last 10 minutes was all Loughrea. Teirnan Killeen was unreal.

Tough loss today for Tommy Larkins and could it get worse by losing the JHC B and JHC C Finals too!
Could Loughrea win the triple..Senior, JHC A and JHC E Finals!
P.S.......hardluck sarsfields next year isn't far away!!!

I sincerely hope Micheal Donahue was watching these matches over the weekend. Lots of YOUNG TALENTED HURLERS in our great county!

Sarsfields aren't finished yet. A big Junior F semi-final coming up.

When he starts looking like a beast v Kilkenny, we'll agree with you.

Other than Cathal Mannion none of the Galway team are at that standard.

I thought Katser claimed his club as Turloughmore?

Pity he's not a beast when he has the Galway jersey on - more like a pet lamb :(
Cathal Mannion unreal again yesterday. Chalk and cheese compared to Killeen.

Thankfully he's only 22. A good 10 years left to make his mark. Plethora of young talent coming through the Loughrea ranks.

Might not have been Kilkenny but it was Galways centre back whom was marking him !!
