Galway v Wexford, Antrim v Dublin LIVE score updates, TV info, stream and more
The Leinster Hurling Championship continues this weekend after an enthralling opening couple of weeks and it is very much all to play for.
Focus will primarily be on Galway and Wexford with both sides under severe pressure to get a win if they are to secure a top three spot.
Wexford lost to Dublin in a Parnell Park classic a couple of weekends ago while Galway impressed against Offaly after their opening day drubbing at the hands of Kilkenny.
The two sides meet at Pearse Stadium in Galway with throw in at 3.15 pm. The game will be broadcast live on RTE Two.
A win for Dublin today will all but guarantee a top three spot and they'll be hoping for a no-nonsence performance against Antrim.
An opening round win against Offaly and a comeback win against Wexford sees Dublin sit with two wins from two. Another win today and they'll temporarily climb to the top of the standings and have significantly less pressure when they take on Kilkenny and Galway later on in the Championship.
The game takes place at Corrigan Park in Belfast with throw-in set for 4 pm. It will be available to watch live on GAA+.
We will have live coverage of both games right here on the Irish Mirror.

Caoimhe O'Connor explains how Dublin plan on using last year's ‘huge hurt' to get back to the top in 2025
DUBLIN forward Caoimhe O'Connor admits the Sky Blues' hurt locker is bursting at the seams. The Dubs suffered a shock All-Ireland quarter–final loss to Galway after extra-time last July, and they have been stewing over that result ever since. Advertisement In November, The reins were then handed to Paul Casey and Derek Murray, and they surged to Leinster SFC glory against Meath last month at Croke Park. Now all eyes are on getting the Brendan Martin Cup back. That journey started on Sunday when they The Blues sisters' group is rounded out by Leitrim. Advertisement Read More On GAA Prior to Sunday's 1-13 apiece draw, O'Connor spoke about how the pain from last year lingers on within their panel. She told SunSport: 'I think there's huge, huge hurt coming off the back of last year. No one wants to get knocked out in the quarter-final. 'But I think it's just trying to shake that off, dealing with it at the time over the winter. 'You're thinking back to what might have gone wrong or what we didn't do so well and chatting it through. And I think over the winter, we were just going through it then. Advertisement Most read in GAA Football 'But then when we come back in for the new year and this group, it's just trying to park it, but also using it as a positive in that we don't want to have this feeling again. 'Getting knocked out by Galway last year in the quarter-final was obviously such a huge blow. We know the feeling of not being successful, and we also know the feeling of being successful. RTE GAA pundits argue over who started halftime row as Cork eventually topple Limerick in Munster epic final 'So it's to try to get back to that place and really pushing on for the rest of the summer. 'We've got a great squad and a great group of girls, and we all drive each other on.' Advertisement With new faces in the dugout, plenty of familiar ones are still delivering on the pitch. Stalwart Hannah Tyrrell, 34, fired 1-4 in their 2-13 to 1-12 win over Meath as O'Connor lined out in their back six alongside Leah Caffrey, Martha Byrne and Lauren Magee. 1 Caoimhe O'Connor and the Dubs are desperate to get back to the summit in 2025 Seven-time All-Star winner Sinéad Goldrick, 35, missed the bulk of their 2024 campaign as she lined out with AFLW giants Melbourne, but has ended her six-year stint Down Under to fully focus on the Dubs. Advertisement Clontarf ace O'Connor made her SFC debut in 2019 — and believes that experience will be vital if they are to go all the way in 2025. She said: 'Oh yeah, it's huge. Obviously, girls staying around and sticking with it and having the experience . . . the likes of Hannah Tyrrell, Carla Rowe and Goldie coming back in. 'I just think Goldie brings a different sort of energy and drive and strength to the squad. 'So having her in with us has been huge since she's come back, so we're delighted that she came back to us this year. Advertisement 'I suppose just her hunger and her drive and her determination and obviously her experience of playing with us for the last few years. 'Then Leah and Martha, they've all been around for a long time. I think having the experience is huge and having them still around is such a plus for us. 'And then I think that comes also with the young girls coming in and having their drive. So it's a good mix of youth and experience.'

The four are part of the British & Irish Lions squad set to get their summer Tour under way against Argentina in Dublin on June 20th.

'The Munster Final shouldn't be decided on pens - both deserved another day'
What an epic game the Munster Final was. The commitment. The intensity. Some of the scores. The use of the ball. The tackling. It had it all. One of the best Munster finals I've seen in years. I think a big part of the reason the game was so enthralling and so good was down to ref Thomas Walsh. Sometimes referees can get very caught up in rules. I've been at Championship games with 30 or 40 frees and to me that ruins it. Yes there were things Walsh could have easily blown for in the first half but he let it flow. There were only three frees before the break, but if there was something dangerous he pulled it. I know the altercation at half-time might have made him blow a few more frees in the second half but in general his contribution was immense and neither side could complain. I wish a lot more refs would take that approach as hurling would be better for it. In the first 15 minutes Tom Morrissey was outstanding. I felt he faded big-time after that, but he was causing Cork problems, getting on ball, coming from side to side and getting scoring chances. The big thing with Cork in the first half compared to the last day was running the ball into the right spots. They didn't just get the ball and hit it. They worked it into different areas in the middle of the field to try and pull out the Limerick half-back line. Their use of the ball was fantastic. Cork didn't just hit 80- or 100-yard balls down on top of the Limerick full-back line. They were very smart in how they used it, getting them short passes. Once they got to midfield, they either shot from distance or got the ball deep to the inside line. That, along with their phenomenal work-rate, which was especially evident at the start of the second half with their half-forward line getting back deep on Limerick puck-outs and winning a lot of breaks, was important. Cian Lynch's distribution was magic, especially in the first half. This guy sees passes like no other player in the game. His vision. His awareness. He is not a selfish player and I can see why John Kiely made him captain. They are all the ingredients you need to be a good leader. He was the man behind a lot of Limerick's first-half scores. Aidan O'Conor looked to have the Cork full-back line in trouble in the first half and was unlucky not to have two or three more scores. He just needed to settle a small bit. The big thing with Limerick was they didn't hit their full-forward line enough. Cork marked the Limerick half-forward line, which goes back deep for short ball and there was a mountain of space from the 65 back to the Cork full-back line. When Limerick got that ball in fast, it looked like trouble for Cork. There were two or three goal opportunities that Limerick will feel they should have converted. The difference between Cork and Limerick's half-back line is Kyle Hayes sat back and guarded that middle most of the time, and Limerick in general didn't look like giving away goals. Hayes had an effect in the first 15 or 20 minutes, didn't really after that, but he was still a constant in the middle of that defence, where I felt Cork really pushed up man-on-man on the Limerick half-forward line. That's why there seemed to be more space when Limerick delivered that long ball in. Limerick's second goal was a touch of genius, especially from Aaron Gillane. His footwork and pass to the oncoming Shane O'Brien was something you can only dream of. Only certain players have that ability. Gillane was one of Limerick's focal points. They just didn't get him enough ball. It's very hard for Cork to defend when they have only two on two in 40 or 50 yards of space. Seamus Harnedy did well in patches and won a bit of aerial ball. Gearoid Hegarty was absolutely phenomenal on high ball. The big thing for me in the first half, which was very unusual, was Cork's 21 turnovers to Limerick's 14. That means Cork were working extremely hard. That's one thing you could always say about Limerick over the last six or seven years, is their workrate and their turnovers. They pride themselves on that. Cork had nine or ten wides to Limerick's four, so that means Cork probably should have gone in further ahead at half-time. Patrick Horgan is playing as good as ever — working unreal, passing ball and scoring but I felt his placed balls were a bit off and I thought that might come back to bite Cork. Knowing Hoggie he wouldn't be happy with missing those. You have to admire Cork's mentality, They were aggressive and when things went against them they never strayed from the plan. Even when Limerick went a point or two up at the end, they kept going and kept with it. That's massive. Tactically, even playing against the wind in the second half, I thought they were a lot better in terms of using that ball. I still would be worried for Cork going forward, leaving that space in front of the full-back line. On puck-outs and in general play they were a lot better this time against Limerick. Darragh Fitzgibbon was phenomenal. The ground he covers. They scores he gets. The work he does. During the 70 minutes maybe Cork had a slight edge, capitalising on Limerick's wides. James Owens had a tough job to go in and referee. His style might be different to Thomas Walsh. The players had to adapt. Limerick might have felt a small bit hard-done-by with so much extra-time. Overall, a draw was a fair result. Looking at the list of penalty takers I had a feeling it suited Cork better, but I don't think the Munster Final should be decided on penalties. Both teams deserved another day. I know we are tight in the calendar but that shouldn't be a reason to go to penalties. I think it's unfair, putting that pressure on players. Few fans would have a problem with it going to another day. Cork prevailed and you can't begrudge them the win. It would have been easy to fold up the tent after the beating they got the last day from Limerick. And they had a knock-back last year but these guys keep coming back for more. Fair play to them. They are resilient. It's important they enjoy this victory and well done to them, but there is still a lot of hurling left to be done. Munster is great, but only one thing matters at the end of the day and that's winning Liam MacCarthy.
