Galway and Wexford will contest this year's Dioralyte Walsh Cup final after coming through their respective semi-finals on Saturday.

Wexford booked their place in the 28 January decider after narrowly holding off a Kilkenny fightback before holding on for a 0-18 to 2-11 win in Callan.

Wexford were down to 13 men during the closing stages after a red card for Tomas Kinsella and Niall Murphy's late sin-binning following a black card, but they were able to secure the result as the pre-season campaign draws towards its conclusion. Eoin Guilfoyle scored both goals for Kilkenny.

Galway, meanwhile, had a more comfortable outing as they saw off Dublin by a 1-24 to 0-17 scoreline at Parnell Park.

Jason Flynn's goal shortly before half-time went some way towards helping Henry Shefflin's side to a seven-point interval lead before they stretched that out to a ten-point winning margin in the second half.
