Byrne calls for Galway unity

THE new chairman of Galway Hurling Board last night called for an end to the internal disputes which have dogged the Tribesmen in recent years.

And Joe Byrne from Kinvara, who defeated former All Star and referee Jimmy Cooney 60-37, promised that there would be a new beginning for Galway hurling.

“We need to go forward as a team and we need to all work together. It is all about team work on the field and it is the same off it.
