Woe for Galway as Healy out for year

Galway hurler Niall Healy has been ruled out for the remainder of the year with cruciate ligament damage.

Healy picked up the injury during club action on Saturday evening, with Galway selector Damian Curley confirming the corner-forward will play no part in the county’s All-Ireland championship campaign.

The 29-year-old was Galway’s top scorer from open play during the league and Curley said “it was a big blow to the camp”.
