When he’s on, you can’t stop Joe Canning.
Galway’s marquee forward won the man of the match award in his county’s comprehensive 3-28 to 1-14 win over Laois that saw the Tribesmen move into the Leinster hurling final to face either Kilkenny or Wexford.
And Canning’s 17-point tally also pointed out just how dominant his side were on the day.
Joe Canning has 1-14, Laois have 1-11.

Laois scored three more points but Canning’s haul would have been enough to force a replay without any other help. After a massive win over Offaly, the 20-point defeat will be a big setback for Cheddar Plunkett’s men as they enter the qualifiers.
And it capped a torrid day for Laois GAA in general as the footballers squandered a ten-point lead to lose to Antrim in the first round of the football qualifiers.
It will be bleak night in Portlaoise.
