We're just three matches away from the final ding of the 2023 microwave hurling championship and first up on Saturday evening is Galway versus Limerick, a repeat of last year's semi-final.When Galway play Limerick, we always say that they have the size to cope with them.

But by this stage, Galway have done more than enough for us to retire that cliche.Matching Limerick physically just gets you sitting at the table.

After that it's about focus and cunning and that's a worry for Henry Shefflin.Galway haven't shown 70-plus minutes of focus yet this season.

Still, there's always hope in Galway.Since they broke through in that famous final against Saturday's opponents in 1980, hope has kept the Tribesmen alive.They have won three finals since then and lost ten.
