Galway produced a stunning comeback in the Electric Ireland Leinster Minor Hurling Final in Laois Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise on Monday (18th May 2026) to win a second ever title after extra time.
The Tribesmen trailed 3-15 to 1-9 with 14 minutes remaining before storming back into contention in the final quarter to level at 3-15 apiece when the full time whistle went. Cillian Power got their first goal before green flags from Tadhg Mac Cárthaigh and Anthony Poniard instigated a Lazarus like recovery.
In the extra 20 minutes, Galway shaded their opponents by 0-5 to 0-4 to win a first Hanrahan Cup since 2023.
