Galway U20 star celebrates All-Ireland football win one day after Leinster hurling semi-final victory
IT’S BEEN A superb 24 hours for Galway U20 dual star Conor Flaherty.
He celebrated an All-Ireland football title today at Croke Park to cap off a brilliant 24 hours, after helping Galway book a spot in the Leinster U20 hurling final last night.
Flaherty lined out at centre-back last night in Portlaoise, as Galway dethroned the reigning provincial champions Kilkenny to book their spot in the Leinster final.
The Carnmore hurler contributed one point from a free as Galway progressed with a 0-19 to 1-11 win.
