Mulholland poised to become Galway boss

THE way has been cleared for Alan Mulholland to take over as the new Galway senior football manager after the other candidate left in the race withdrew yesterday.

Former Offaly manager Gerry Fahy, who managed the Galway minors in 2009 and last year, decided not to allow his name to go forward for interview.

Fahy, currently in charge of former All-Ireland club hurling champions Sarsfields, was interviewed for the post last year but the job was given to Tómas Ó Flatharta.
