Cunningham keen to end hectic year with a double

HIS schedule this week is a frenzied one yet Anthony Cunningham is not in the mood for complaining. September is a month for chasing trophies and the Kilchreest native is delighted to be doing that on two fronts.

On Saturday evening at 7pm in Semple Stadium, he sends his Galway U21 hurling side into action as they face off against Dublin in pursuit of the Cross of Cashel.

And then irrespective of the result, he must calm himself on Sunday morning and focus on that afternoon’s clash. In Cusack Park in Mullingar, he will watch his Garrycastle seniorfootball team contest the Westmeath county semi-final against Tyrellspass at 2.30pm. It has been a manic year juggling the preparations of both squads and begs the question as to how he manages it?
