Cunningham and Kenny vie for Tribe hot seat

The battle to become Galway senior hurling manager next season has been cut to a two-horse race between current manager Anthony Cunningham and his former selector and coach Mattie Kenny.

Ex-Galway forward and selector Brendan Lynskey and U21 manager Johnny Ryan had been nominated for the role and, like Cunningham and Kenny, were interviewed for the position last Wednesday.

Both Cunningham and Kenny are expected to be interviewed again this week ahead of a recommendation being made to the board on September 29.
