Galway ban on social media

Galway management have enforced a strict ban on players using social media in the build-up to Sunday’s All-Ireland final.

A number of players have been told to desist from using their Facebook and Twitter accounts in the last couple of weeks as they prepare for a second Championship clash with Kilkenny in two months.

In the wake of their semi-final win over Cork, one member of the panel is believed to have been admonished for allowing a photograph of him and another team-mate in a recovery session appear on his Facebook page.
