Injury woe for Healy and Canning

Injury has struck down two of Galway hurling's leading lights, with Niall Healy to miss the county's NHL Division 1B clash with Offaly this weekend and Joe Canning emerging as a doubt for Portumna's upcoming All-Ireland club semi-final against Loughmore-Castleiney.

Healy, who scored 0-3 in Galway's win over Clare last week, has been ruled out of action for three weeks due to a punctured lung.
