Galway ace Farragher in fitness race to make NHL final

Top Galway hurling star Ger Farragher is being given every opportunity to line out in the Allianze NHL final.

Farragher picked up a back injury in the semi-final against Cork casting doubt about whether he will line out on Sunday at the Gaelic Grounds, but he has been named on the half forward line and will face a late fitness test as a resurgent Galway look to claim the season's first major silverware.
