Tribesmen look set to reappoint McIntyre

GALWAY hurling boss John McIntyre is set tonight to be reappointed for another two years, as the Tribesmen bid to end their All-Ireland famine.

Galway have not won the All-Ireland title since 1988 and McIntyre will tonight be given the task of dethroning his native Tipperary in 2011.

McIntyre’s name will go before a meeting of Galway hurling board this evening and it is expected he will be given a new term, with his manager’s report having been favourably received earlier this month.
