Hayes savages Tribe as being ‘years from title’

Former boss Conor Hayes has launched a stinging attack on the current Galway senior hurling team, insisting that the Tribesmen are not good enough to challenge for a senior All-Ireland title.

Hayes, the last Galway man to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup, in 1988, fears relegation from Division 1A of the league will have dire consequences.

Former full-back Hayes is unhappy with the current make-up of the Galway team and believes some players are being deployed out of position.
