Canning in fitness battle as Tribe tackle Limerick

Galway captain Joe Canning is in a race against time to be fit for Sunday’s league quarter-final clash with Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

Canning is battling with a hamstring injury as he bids to lead the Tribesmen out for the first time since being appointed captain during the winter.

Canning picked up a few injuries helping Portumna win the All-Ireland club title for the fourth time last week, with a niggling hamstring problem the biggest cause for concern.
