Holleran backs under fire O Flatharta to turn Tribe around

THE chairman of the Galway football board has come out strongly in support of manager Tomás Ó Flatharta amid speculation that the reign of the Kerry native might be coming to an end after just months in charge.

John Joe Holleran said that the board were ‘100% behind’ the team management and players and he dismissed suggestions that an executive meeting of the board was planned for next Sunday if they lost a fifth successive league game against Cork on Sunday.

The Galway squad trained at 8am at Pearse Stadium yesterday morning and Holleran said all focus was on All-Ireland champions Cork.
