St Thomas’ will play Loughrea in the Galway senior hurling championship final the weekend after next both teams scored victories in their respective semi-finals on Saturday.

St Thomas’ were 4-18 to 0-19 winners over Craughwell at Pearse Stadium, where Eanna Burke’s goal helped them lead by 1-10 to 0-9 at half-time.

A brace of goals from Victor Manso after the change of ends helped his side to comfortably book their seventh SHC final berth in eight years.

The later semi-final in Salthill saw defending champions Loughrea recording a 1-17 to 0-15 victory against Turloughmore.

Three points apiece from Shane Morgan and Darren Shaughnessy would move Loughrea towards a 0-12 to 0-7 lead by halfway stage.

Turloughmore, beaten finalists in 2023, would claw their deficit back to two points late on before the holders netted a late goal to seal their Tom Callinan Cup decider return.

The results mean that it’s a repeat of the county’s 2022 final in two weeks’ time, with St Thomas’ having edged a two-point victory after a replay on that occasion.
