Canning and Webster gear up for showdown

OLLIE CANNING is, without question, one of the premier inter-county corner-backs of his era.

He has three All Star awards in the left corner, as much as anyone has ever won there. He should have had at least one more and possibly two.

Today, at 31, retired from the county scene since the end of 2006, he still has pace to burn and is still more than capable of doing a job for Galway if and when he chooses to take up Ger Loughnane’s invitation to end his self-imposed exile.
