Davy Fitzgerald ‘delighted’ as Colm Galvin returns to Clare squad

Clare’s 2013 All Star midfielder Colm Galvin touched down in Ireland yesterday and will rejoin the Banner hurlers in the coming days.

Manager Davy Fitzgerald had privately anticipated the 22-year-old Clonlara man would return to the fold before the summer was out having left for Boston at the end of April following their Division 1 relegation play-off defeat to Kilkenny.

Galvin had been lining out for the Tipperary club in Boston for the past two months but had been in regular contact with Fitzgerald, who had never dismissed the possibility of linking up with the panel before the end of their championship campaign.
