Considine denies Galway management rumours

FORMER Clare selector and current Irish Examiner columnist Tony Considine yesterday moved to scotch rumours that he would be involved with the Galway hurlers next year.

“I have never expressed any interest in the Galway job,” he said. “I have not been approached by anybody about the Galway job. I have spoken to nobody about the Galway job, including Ger Loughnane.”

The former Clare manager is the man assumed by many to be in pole position to be the next Galway manager and, given their successful partnership during the 1995-99 Clare glory years, speculation has been mounting that he will be bringing Considine with him to Galway, should he get that appointment.
