Leinster Senior Hurling Championship

Galway v Dublin, Pearse Stadium, 7pm

Galway's passage to the Leinster Final has been secured, while Dublin's victory over Offaly guarantees them Liam MacCarthy Cup status for 2019.

Dublin, though, will reflect on what might have been in their games against Kilkenny and Wexford. Pat Gilroy's charges were close to wins on both occasions and they will be anxious to take Galway's scalp in the west.

Galway hurled with admirable class and composure in their triumphs over Kilkenny and Wexford so Micheal Donoghue will want to maintain the momentum that has been generated ahead of next month's provincial showpiece.
