Nicky Joyce absent from Galway's SFC panel

Galway manager Alan Mulholland has announced a 31-man squad for the 2012 Football Championship, but insisted he is 'not closing the door' on any players who have not made the initial cut.

Experienced forward Nicky Joyce tops the list of absentees. The Killererin clubman, who did not feature for the Tribesmen in 2011, is unable to give the necessary commitment this summer.
