One year after winning the Purcell Cup, University of Galway are back on the national stage this Saturday (8th February 2025) as they contest the Ashbourne Cup semi-final.
The Galway college take on defending title holders University of Limerick at the penultimate stage of the game's highest tier, looking to move into Sunday's final and possibly bridge the gap to their last Ashbourne success in 1994.
University of Galway beat DCU 2-16 to 1-14 in the quarter-finals; while UL went straight through from the group stags after wins over SETU Waterford and TU Dublin.
Leading up to the game, University of Galway manager Kevin Connolly has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.
Throw-in at the Connacht GAA Centre, Bekan on Saturday is 1pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM. The winners will be University College Cork or TU Dublin in the final on Sunday at 2pm.
Elsewhere, ATU Galway are against Queen's University, Belfast in the Ashling Murphy Cup Final on Saturday at 11am. And University of Galway's second team will face Ulster University Magee in the Uí Mhaolagáin Cup decider at 5pm.
