This Sunday (September 3rd)  the All-Ireland Hurling Final between Galway and Waterford will take place at Croke Park, and once again Dublin City University will play a part in the action with representatives on both panels.

Galway duo, Padraig Breheny and Brian Flaherty are both DCU graduates. Padraig plays his club hurling with Tynagh/Abbey/Duniry while Brian lines out with Abbeyknockmoy.

On the Waterford side, Patrick Curran is a 3rd year Bachelor of Education student at DCU while Peter Hogan is a final year Engineering student.
