Galway blow as Farragher and Tannian out of Dublin clash

GALWAY hurlers suffered a massive blow with the news that key players Ger Farragher and Iarla Tannian are ruled out of Saturday’s Leinster senior championship semi-final clash with Dublin at Tullamore.

Team boss John McIntyre revealed yesterday midfielder Farragher and corner-forward Tannian have lost their battle to feature in the third showdown between the two counties this year.

“Unfortunately, both Ger and Iarla won’t be able to start due to their injuries,” said McIntyre, who had been hopeful up to last weekend of being able to call on his star duo.
