Kernan: Joyce will be back

JOE KERNAN has insisted Paraic Joyce will play football for Galway this year.

Currently recovering from surgery on an achilles tendon injury he picked up before Christmas, it was feared that the forward would miss most, if not all, of the National League. Not so, said Kernan.

“We have Paraic Joyce,” the new Galway manager confirmed. “He has had an injury and has come back from it. I hope he will be back for maybe the third or fourth game in the league.”
