Hanley claims rumours of Galway unrest untrue

GALWAY defender Finian Hanley is confident the future is bright for the Tribesmen despite the troubles encountered in the opening weeks of the football league.

Hanley, one of three joint captains named by manager Tomás Ó Flatharta, said that the withdrawals of experienced duo Kieran Fitzgerald and Niall Coleman were blown out of proportion. But he feels that if Galway are to succeed then they need to introduce new talent — and reckons Ó Flatharta is the man to do that.

“We are a team that is trying to build again and we must look to the future. We have not brought enough through in the past few years and Tomás isanxious to do that and build a team,” said the 26 year-old.
