LIMERICK WILL HOST a homecoming celebration at the Gaelic Grounds today to welcome home the county’s All-Ireland hurling champions, who overcame Galway in a nail-biting clash at Croke Park yesterday. Conor Whelan's goal sparked a late fight-back by Galway that came up just short

Heart-stopping finale

Although they were eight points adrift, Galway refused to surrender their title without a fight as they drove at the Limerick full-back line.
In hurling, Limerick defeat Galway in the 2018 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final at Croke Park to win the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the first time since 1973.
