Former Galway Boss Donoghue names Dublin lineup as he faces his former county on final Leinster Round clash
Dublin v Galway
Leinster Senior Hurling Championship Round 5
Sunday, May 28th. 4:00pm
Croke Park, Dublin
Both Dublin and Galway are already guaranteed All Ireland Hurling before meeting this weekend to see out the Leinster Championship. But they won’t be looking past Sunday as there is plenty at stake. Kilkenny play Wexford this weekend and there is definitely a big game in that Wexford panel. Should they beat Kilkenny, and Dublin beat Galway by more than four points, Donoghue’s men will reach the Leinster decider.
Donoghue led Galway to an All Ireland Championship in 2017. And since Galway entered the Leinster Championship set up the rivalry between them and Dublin has become quite the story to follow. With Donoghue at the helm of the Dubs for his first year. And there has been some encouraging progress.
The Dublin boss has named an unchanged starting lineup to the one beaten by Kilkenny in the last round.
