Galway officials asked to approach Forde and Larkin again

Galway’s hurling managerial crisis shows no signs of abating as the hurling board have asked officials to approach Francis Forde and Noel Larkin to reconsider their decisions to step away from the managerial appointment process.

At a meeting on Friday night, county chairman Pat Kearney and hurling board secretary John Fahy were requested to speak to the pair about putting their names forward again for the role. It had been expected clubs would put forward other candidates to recommence the selection process. Instead, they backed overtures to be made to Micheál Donoghue’s former selectors.
