[johnnycool]

All three potential candidates for the vacant Galway Hurling managers post pull out of the race.

With a team that can have serious aspirations of winning the AI there must be some mess behind the scenes.

Should Forde and Larkin remove their services later this week, it would throw Galway GAA into further chaos with a Donoghue return not to be discounted if changes were to take place at board level later this year.

Achieved the full set too.. not many greats have won the heap

What do you think consider to be the full set?

To me, it's Senior, U21/20, Minor, Club and Colleges All Irelands plus a Fitzgibbon Cup.. Only one hurler has all those.

That's a fullset on the playing side but you could add in young all star of the year and an all star award.. That be the icing on the cake.. I take it Canning would have those?

Galway’s David Burke will miss the rest of the season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.

Burke, who captained the Tribesmen to All-Ireland senior hurling championship glory in 2017, got injured at training last Wednesday night. The 33-year-old has been a central player for Galway since making his senior debut in 2010, but he will not feature again this season.

Speaking to Galway Bay FM following his side’s win over Westmeath on Sunday, Henry Shefflin confirmed Burke had suffered a cruciate ligament tear.

“It’s very disappointing, I suppose devastating,” he said. “These couple of days, it is devastating for Davy because he looks forward to playing championship and that is where he wants to play.

Burke is a big loss and now that he is 33 years old, I wonder will we see him line out for Galway ever again?
