Galway hurling board’s top trio to decide future of manager McIntyre

JOHN McINTYRE’S fate as Galway manager will be decided by the three primary officers of the county’s hurling board and not by the high-profile group which has been put together to carry out a detailed investigation into why they are not successful.

Former GAA president Joe McDonagh, one of four All-Ireland senior winners in the review committee, will chair the group which also includes ex-managers Cyril Farrell and Conor Hayes, and former All Stars Seán Silke, Pete Finnerty and Ollie Canning.

County board chairman Gerry Larkin, coaching officer Pat Monaghan, club representatives Mike Darcy and PC Loughnane, and Galway Bay FM and TV3 commentator Sean Walsh are also on the review group.
