Galway boost for Broderick back in action

GALWAY have been boosted by the return to competitive hurling of injury stricken forward Kevin Broderick ahead of tomorrow week’s All-Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny.

The former Allstar pulled through a keenly contested tie against the county’s U-21 hurlers on Thursday night at Pearse Stadium.

However, the Kilkenny tie may have come too soon for the classy forward to land a starting place after undergoing groin surgery less than three months ago.
