Early chance for Galway's forgotten men

Saturday's Connacht Hurling League encounter between the Galway Development squad and Roscommon will afford a chance for a number of the Tribesmen to impress new county boss Ger Loughnane.

Diarmuid Cloonan and Mark Kerins, who have not played for Galway for two seasons, are both expected to play in Ballinasloe. The pair were part of the Connacht squad for October's Interprovincial championship, which was closely monitored by Loughnane.
