John Hanbury and Conor Cooney in Galway fitness fight

Galway hurler John Hanbury is in a race to be fit for Sunday week’s All- Ireland final. The Galway full-back has been sidelined since the county’s semi-final win over Tipperary on Sunday week last owing to a calf strain.

Hanbury picked up the knock early in the second-half at GAA headquarters and manager Anthony Cunningham last night revealed the defender has not completed a full session in the past 10 days.

The Galway boss is hopeful the 22-year old will return to full contact training this weekend.
