The AIG Fenway Hurling Classic is taking place today in Boston, and the first game saw Galway advance to the final after seeing off Dubin in Pat Gilroy's first game in charge.
They will face Clare who beat Tipperary in the other semi-final, a result Clare can thank goalkeeper Andrew Fahy for after he pulled off some heroics in the final minutes of the match.
With the score at 50-45, Tipperary were desperately searching for a score to mount a late-comeback when Fahy came up big with numerous superb saves in to ensure the banner advance to the final.

Fahy only made his Clare senior debut this year, sharing the number one jersey with Patrick Kelly. If today's performance is anything to go by Clare have a plethora of talent available in goals as Donal Touhy made some monster saves early in the game.
In this version of the game a 65' is replaced by a penalty corner, which explains the position Tipperary launched each attack from. Clare demonstrated the correct way to do it with this awesome volley early on:
