Byrne denies Cunningham quit claims

Galway Hurling Committee Chairman Joe Byrne has spoken out about reports suggesting that Galway hurling manager Anthony Cunningham offered his resignation following last month's Leinster SHC final defeat to Dublin.

Cunningham was appointed on a three-year contract in October 2011, but will not be ratified for the third and final year of the term until a scheduled review by County Board officials is completed.
