Galway secured a crucial victory over Wexford in their Allianz Hurling League Division 1 clash, solidifying their position in the title race while condemning Wexford to Division 1 B next season. Despite a spirited late rally from Wexford , Galway 's superior composure and clinical finishing proved decisive. The Tribesmen, buoyed by their recent win over Clare, started brightly, building a three-point lead early on.
However, Wexford responded with a series of points from Seamus Casey, including two well-executed 65s, to take the lead by the 19th minute. The first half saw a fluctuating contest with both sides struggling to find consistency. Just before the break, Galway struck a significant blow when Anthony Burns found the net following a well-worked move from a Michael Garvey free. Wexford hit back immediately in the second half with Rory O’Connor capitalizing on a short puck-out to level the scores. Galway then took control, with Conor Cooney and Kevin Cooney adding points to extend their lead. A penalty converted by Conor Cooney following a foul on Kevin Cooney proved to be a defining moment, giving Galway a crucial 2-16 to 1-13 advantage. Although Lee Chin, taking over free-taking duties after Casey's substitution, reduced the deficit with four well-placed frees, Galway held firm in the closing minutes to secure their third consecutive victory.
