Challenge to Holleranin Galway

GALWAY’S top football official — who has overseen the appointment of three managers in his four seasons in charge — is being challenged for the position.

John Joe Holleran is hoping to remain as chairman of Galway football board for a fifth and final year, but he is to be challenged next week for the post.

The current vice-chairman, Michael Ruane from Abbeyknockmoy, has been nominated for the position ahead of Thursday’s annual convention.
