Canning: Players must accept blame

Joe Canning has expressed the hope that Anthony Cunningham will remain on as Galway hurling manager and pointed the finger of blame away from the sidelines and at the players themselves.

Cunningham delivered a first Leinster title to Galway before taking Kilkenny to a replay in the All-Ireland final in his first year in charge, but 2013 has proven to be nothing short of disastrous for the side.

Despite that, Canning believes the management team still has much to offer and declared “all the lads” would be more than happy to see Cunningham and Co. remain at the helm for a third straight season.
