Galway could consider outside manager to replace Anthony Cunningham

Galway could appoint an outside manager to succeed Anthony Cunningham after it was confirmed that no restriction has been placed on clubs making nominations for the post.

Galway clubs have until next Monday night to come up with nominations for the vacant position, with former Clarinbridge manager Micheal Donoghue the favourite to take over, while Cuala manager Mattie Kenny is also in contention.

Both are former Galway hurlers and are likely to lead the race, but it has been confirmed that restrictions have not been placed on who clubs nominate.
