Portumna stars set for Galway return

THE all-conquering Portumna hurlers could be back in action for Galway as early as next Sunday when John McIntyre’s men take on Limerick badly in need of league points.

The return of the likes of Damien Hayes, Ollie and Joe Canning will add badly needed impetus to a Galway side, who have only won one of their three league games to date.

With the Galway squad members only returning from duty with Connacht in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, and a number of injury concerns, McIntyre and his selectors will wait until Friday night before naming the side for Sunday’s game at Pearse Stadium in Salthill.
