Double shot gives Cannings chance to create bit of history

TOMORROW is a huge day for the Canning family from the Portumna club in Galway with Joe and Ollie in line to create their own bit of history by winning All-Ireland hurling medals at minor and senior level respectively.

Galway have certainly made up for lost ground at minor level. They had to wait until 1983 to win their first All-Ireland title but since then have added five more titles.

Tomorrow they face Limerick and with half of last year’s winning team available, the Tribesmen will be raging favourites. However, there in an air of confidence in the Limerick camp that they can bridge that 21 year gap since they last won the Irish Press Cup.
