Joe Byrne - Galway Hurling Board chairman

“I’ve been involved in hurling my entire life. Thirty years ago I played in the All-Ireland minor final and though I featured with the U21 side, I was one of those young lads who never made the progression to senior.

“Ironically one of my chief priorities as Hurling Board chairman has been to try and develop senior players out of our successful minor teams.
