Collins boost for Galway

Galway hurlers have received a huge boost in their bid to win a first Leinster SHC title with experienced defender David Collins cleared to play in Sunday’s final against Kilkenny.

Collins missed the 5-19 to 4-12 win over Westmeath and the 5-23 to 3-15 victory against Offaly with an ankle injury but has made a full recovery.

“He played a full part in training on Sunday morning and it’s a boost to have him back and available for selection,” said manager Anthony Cunningham.
