Galway won’t bench stars in Salthill, says Farney’s Freeman

Galway manager Kevin Walsh will pass on the opportunity to rest his marquee players for Saturday’s visit of Monaghan, according to former Farney forward Tommy Freeman.

Irrespective of what happens in their Super 8 fixture at Salthill, the westerners are already assured of a first All-Ireland semi-final appearance since 2001 and, with that semi-final little over a week away, Walsh has the luxury, if he so chooses, of standing down the main figures from their recent victories over Kildare and Kerry.
