Meehan to captain Galway in Championship
Galway football manager Joe Kernan has selected Michael Meehan as the county's captain for the Championship campaign, however the Caltra clubman will be absentee when the Tribesmen take on New York on Sunday.
Kernan's side kickstart the Connacht Championship with a preliminary round trip to the Big Apple's Gaelic Park (throw-in 9pm). The Seamus Sweeney-managed Exiles provide the opposition.
