Galway down to the bones as injury lists hits 21

GALWAY hurlers last night cancelled a training session as their mounting injury crisis left them with just 12 fit players a week and a half before the championship opener against Wexford.

Manager John McIntyre yesterday confirmed that they now had an astonishing 21 players nursing injuries.

The biggest concern surrounds All Star Ollie Canning who was unable to play for Portumna at the weekend after suffering an ankle injury in training. And with corner-back Fergal Moore already ruled out for the season, McIntyre and his selectors can’t afford to lose another experienced defender.
