Murphy teams up with Kenny in bid for Galway job

Six-time All-Ireland winning minor hurling boss Mattie Murphy has joined the managerial ticket seeking to replace outgoing Galway senior manager Anthony Cunningham.

The battle to take hold of the bainisteoir’s bib is a two-horse race between former sideline colleagues Cunningham and Mattie Kenny.

Cunningham is seeking an extension to his three-year term, while Kenny is hoping to succeed the St Thomas’ man he worked alongside in 2012 and 2013.
