Hayes hoping to be involved in crunch Tipp clash
The Portumna man hasn’t played for six months because of a ligament problem which has left him with a sizeable cyst on one side of his right knee. He underwent surgery on both joints before Christmas and has been doing rehabilitation work in the gym, recently beginning straight lane running.
If his knee specialist gives him the all-clear later this week he will make himself available to John McIntyre for a game which, if Galway win, will put them into a second successive league final.
