Galway v Tipperary 6 August 2017 in Croke Park
All Ireland Hurling semi-final
It was a brilliant day of hurling in Croke Park, It had been raining most of the day but fortunately I remained clear for most of the game. It was a terrific spectacle and Galway won by a point in the end and it was one hell of a point from the Galway talisman Joe Canning.
Galway 0-22 and Tipperary 1 - 18
In the earlier minor match Galway beat Kilkenny, so a great day all round for the county. Good luck to them on All Ireland final day.
I am sure Tipp will be back stronger than ever next year.
