Cunningham to stay as Galway manager

Anthony Cunningham is set to become Galway’s longest serving manager since Cyril Farrell guided them to All-Ireland glory in the 1980s after being handed a three-year extension to his term in charge.

Cunningham is due to be ratified by Galway County Board on Monday night when former All Star Kevin Walsh will also be given a three-year term in charge of the Galway footballers.

Cunningham, who led Galway to an All-Ireland final draw against Kilkenny in 2012 in his first year in charge, saw his term end when they were knocked out of the championship this summer by Tipperary.
