Cruciate recurrence for Limerick’s Galvin

Limerick midfielder John Galvin will undergo intensive gym work over the next four weeks in a last-ditch attempt to play some part in this year’s All-Ireland SFC championship.

Manager Maurice Horan has ruled him out of the Munster SFC opener against Waterford in the Gaelic Grounds on May 20 after a specialist yesterday revealed he had damaged the same left knee cruciate he damaged last year.

However, the Croom man has not yet given up hope of lining out for Limerick again this season.
