Interprovincial Hurling Semi-final/ Connacht 1-28 Ulster 4-13: Connacht are through to the Interprovincial hurling decider after an easy victory over Ulster in Seán MacCumhaill Park, Ballybofey, on Saturday evening.
The all-Galway Connacht side were always in control in the second period with Niall Healy and Seán Glynn in impressive scoring form, sharing 16 points between them.
