McIntyre rings the changes

GALWAY hurling boss John McIntyre has wielded the axe and drafted nine players into his squad for next season.

Experienced performers such as Fergal Healy and Alan Kerins have been dropped, while midfielder David Tierney and full-back Damien McClearn have opted out.

There is a surprise recall for former full-back Tony Óg Regan who did not feature at all during McIntyre’s first year in charge.
