PICTURES: Plenty of drama in opening round of Galway Senior Hurling Championship
THERE was a plenty of drama in the opening round of action in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship last weekend.
Gort, Tommy Larkins, Clarinbridge, Liam Mellows, St Thomas, Athenry and Ardrahan all recorded opening round victories last weekend. Sarsfields and Castlegar played out an entertaining draw in Group Three of the Galway Senior Hurling Championship.
There were two notable results in the opening round, with Tommy Larkins defeating reigning county champions Loughrea and Athenry edging past league champions Turloughmore. Both results have provided an early indication of just how open this year’s Galway SHC could be.
There is a break in the hurling championship this weekend, with the Senior, Intermediate and Premier Junior Football Championships taking centre stage across Saturday and Sunday. The Galway Senior Hurling Championship will return on the weekend of Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23.
Photographers Joe O’Shaughnessy, David Cunniffe and Joe Keane were in numerous grounds across the county to capture all the action and excitement from the opening round.
