But a stunning Galway revival saw the Tribes get back within four, before Keoghan's second strike sealed their SEVENTH And iconic stalwart Reid, 37, insists they have huge work to do if they want to end their 10-year wait for Liam MacCarthy after letting Galway back into the game and firing 11 wides. read more on gaa He told SunSport: 'We have things to work on for sure. but look, we have a Leinster title, it's what's coming home. "It's time to reset, refocus and take one or two days off and sharpen up for the next four weeks. 'We hurled well, very happy with the outcome, we move on now to four weeks off which is a blessing. 'But look, we weren't efficient - first half especially and there were probably four or five points there that we left behind. Most read in GAA Hurling 'We weren't efficient, we dropped five short there in the second half, we weren't efficient there either, and it makes life a lot easier for the opposition to reset and go after us again. 'We hurled well in the second half but we weren't happy with their goal that they got from the free.

'I think it was John Donnelly; both of them combined and then Mossie broke onto it and I peed away from Daithí Burke. 'And again, look, it's all about team play and team work. and Mossie saw me inside and popped it to me. 'Every team tries to be efficient and to pick the player in the best position. and if you see it, give it - don't hesitate, if he's ten yards in a better position you always try to feed him. 'I'm around a while so it could be 14 but look, it's all about being present and winning the next one.'

WASHINGTON (WMBD) — Officials briefed the media Friday afternoon on recovery efforts, saying 41 bodies have been removed from the Potomac River, two days after a mid-air collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and American Airlines flight.

Since the crash, airspace for helicopters around the airport has been restricted and Terry Liercke, vice president and manager at Reagan National Airport, said two of the airport's three runaways are closed as they would send planes over the crash site. He told reporters he expected them to be closed for at least a week, maybe more. He urged people who had flights to contact the airline for updates. Donnelly said rescue workers are used to working in the elements and expected all people who died in the crash to be recovered at some point. This story will be updated. _________________________________________________________________________ WASHINGTON (WMBD) — Officials are to soon hold a news conference with the latest update on the plane crash from earlier this week that killed 67 people.
