Galway County Board look to future after prolonged Anthony Cunningham exit

Galway top-brass are expected to meet with representatives of the county’s hurling panel this week to plot a path forward in the wake of Anthony Cunningham’s resignation.

One county board official believes a statement on behalf of the players is imminent to outline to the executive the specific reasons why they would no longer hurl under Cunningham - Galway chiefs are still in the dark as to the players’ grievances.

A players charter will be discussed when the two parties convene so the crisis which has engulfed the county over the past seven weeks never again materialises. The players, claimed the official, will have no input in the appointment of the new manager.
