Galway and Dublin clash in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship this Saturday (16th May 2026) with the winners virtually guaranteed a place in next month's provincial final.

Both teams are unbeaten after three rounds.  The Tribesmen are on maximum points, while the only blemish for the Metropolitians was a draw on Day 1 against Offaly.

Galway were five point winners when they met last year (0-29 to 3-15) but the Dubs knocked the maroon and white out of the championship when they last visited Salthill in 2024 (2-27 to 1-24).

Before the Leinster round-robin series began, Dublin forward Conor McHugh was in attendance at the championship launch at the Kinnity Castle Hotel and chatted to Galway Bay FM's Sean Walsh.
