Anthony Cunningham furious at ‘kangaroo court’ Galway exit

Aiming a volley of fury at Galway’s senior hurlers, Anthony Cunningham stepped down as manager yesterday evening.

Just over six weeks since a delegation of players informed Cunningham that the vast majority of the panel didn’t want him to remain in charge next season, the St Thomas man announced his decision to step aside.

It followed a meeting of players on Sunday night where they reiterated their position against Cunningham. In two votes supervised by an independent supervisor, 26 of the 32-man panel expressed no confidence in Cunningham.
