All three candidates withdraw from race to become Galway hurling manager

Galway GAA officials will have to start all over again to find a replacement for hurling manager Micheál Donoghue after a remarkable turn of events which has seen the two remaining candidates withdraw from the race to take over.

Noel Larkin and Franny Forde, both of whom served as selectors under Donoghue for the past four seasons, have confirmed to Galway officials that they do not wish to be interviewed for the job.
