Nomination deadline for Galway hurling manager nears

Galway clubs have until Monday night to come up with nominations to succeed Anthony Cunningham as senior hurling manager.

Former defender Micheal Donoghue, who guided his native Clarinbridge to All-Ireland glory in 2011, remains the firm favourite for the post.

Cuala manager Mattie Kenny, who was part of Cunningham’s management team for the first two of his four years in charge, is also expected to be backed for a nomination.
