GALWAY HAVE ADVANCED to the Connacht U20 football final after a nine-point win over Leitrim at a rain-soaked Tuam Stadium.
Second-half goals from Michael Moughan and Matthew Thompson helped the Tribe avoid an upset in the opening game of the Connacht championship.
Roscommon face Sligo tomorrow night in the quarter-final, and the winners meet Mayo in the other semi-final.
Meanwhile, there were wins for Dublin, Longford, Laois, Louth and Westmeath in the last round of games in the Leinster U20 football championship.
The clash of Laois and Meath was the big fixture in Group 1, the winner progressing directly to the semi-final with both counties level on points before throw-in. The O’Moore county won by five points, with the Royals forced to go the quarter-final route.
In Group 2, Dublin had qualified for the semi-finals already. Louth’s win tonight means they advance to the quarter-final as runners-up.
And in Group 3, Westmeath’s victory over Wexford means they and Kildare head to the quarter-finals.
Leinster GAA tonight confirmed that Meath will host Westmeath and Louth will welcome Kildare next Tuesday night.
Elsewhere this evening, Cork made it two wins from two in the Munster minor hurling championship as they defeated All-Ireland champions Tipperary.
It’s Tipp’s second loss of the round-robin stages, having previously fallen short to Clare on the opening night. The Rebels overcame Waterford last week.

Just in response to the42.ie’s constant ads for Boyle Sports on their rugby articles, I’ll link to the news story of their parent site. The question…will they remove a comment that links to an article on their own parent site outlining Ireland problem gambling, or will they just ignore the fact that they are openly advertising gambling at the same time they are also reporting the harms of gambling?

@JoeVlogs: Spin that wheel baby!!
@JoeVlogs: Such is the dialethics of life. How do they make money without advertising revenue? Betting, alcohol, etc. all no doubt cause a lot of harm (and arguably a great deal of joy too) but they pay, and people need money to survive, as capitalism evolves so too does our addiction to money. Like why does Soros need more? (because like most business people he’s addicted to accumulating wealth and power). How do we protect the smallest number of people who may be vulnerable to addiction while supporting the majority’s personal freedoms, you won find an answer
@JoeVlogs: ive a gambling issue to ads should be banned plus im a subscriber
Good man Tadhg Furlong, another vital cog in this Irish machine.
A proper attitude can bring you a long way! Massive respect to him
@Tony Metcalfe: I see what you did there
@Tony Metcalfe: it could bring you a couple of furlongs. But at the same time you only need one Furlong
Good to hear he is in good nick. He is a very important player but not as vital as Porter. Bealham was excellent in the 6ns and O’Toole was also reliable. If Porter were to get injured I would be quite apprehensive about the scrummaging ability of his replacements.
Struggling a lot for two years now. First man off the field in the Hcup final on 44 minutes. Man must be broke up. Glad to hear he’s feeling good.
But injuries are catching up he should be around for next world cup do legend
