MATTIE MURPHY has withdrawn from the race to elect a new Galway hurling manager after his nomination as Galway hurling manager was controversially rejected earlier this week.

The hall where GAA All Star Cormac McAnallen proudly displayed the Sam Maguire Cup to cheering crowds fell silent today as people went to pay their final respects to their hero.

THE funeral of Tyrone captain Cormac McAnallen is to take place tomorrow.
