U-20S FACE RISING REBELS
GALWAY will contest two All-Ireland hurling finals against Cork over the next four days with tonight’s (Wednesday) U-20 decider in Thurles seeing the Tribesmen go in search of ending a drought at the grade which dates back to 2011. Throw-in is 7.30pm with live coverage being broadcast on TG4.
Since '11, between U-18 and U-17, Galway have captured five Minor titles over that timeframe and on Saturday will go in search of an astounding and never-been-done five in-a-row at the grade versus the Leesiders, also in Thurles and live on TG4 (7.15pm).
Jeffrey Lynskey’s current U-20 squad is backboned by those recent Minor champions and in his ranks he can call upon three All-Ireland winning captains in Seán Neary, Ian McGlynn and Adam Nolan as well as a trio of former Minor Hurlers of the Year in Donal O’Shea, Seán McDonagh and Liam Collins, with the Cappataggle man expected to be among the subs.
