GAA action from Croke Park.
Galway 1-21 Dublin 1-25
Dublin are through to the All-Ireland semi-finals after a hard-fought win over Galway.
The sides went into the break with the Dublin ahead after Con O’Callaghan fisted over seconds before the half-time whistle.
Cormac Costello and O’Callaghan were key going forward while Colm Basquel and Nial Scully also had huge games.
