McIntyre set to write new chapter

GER LOUGHNANE and John McIntyre are two men who know a thing or two about making headlines.

The Clare man has been generating plenty of copy since the last decade but McIntyre’s expertise is more literal.

With his lengthy hurling CV and day job as sports editor of the Connacht Tribune, the Tipperary man has an intimate knowledge of how to generate a buzz — and how to avoid it — and it was the latter route he chose on his appointment as Galway manager last November.
