All eyes will be on Croke Park this Saturday as Galway and Dublin meet in the Leinster Senior Hurling Final (Throw in - 6pm).
For Galway, this is an opportunity to win their first Bob O'Keeffe Cup since 2018 and in doing so, go straight to the All-Ireland semi-final.
Dublin topped the Group Phase with a 100% record including a win over Galway but Micheal Donoghue's side were also impressive beating Kilkenny, Offaly, Kildare and Wexford in their run to the final.
Sean Walsh spoke to members of the panel ahead of Saturday's decider.
He first spoke to Galway Vice Captain Gavin Lee who was looking forward to Saturday.
