Double boost for Galway hurlers as Burkes return

Galway hurlers are likely to be boosted by the return of Daithí and David Burke in time for their NHL clash with All-Ireland champions Tipperary next week, but Shane O’Neill is planning without the services of Joseph Cooney and John Hanbury for the foreseeable future.

All-Ireland club football winners with Corofin, Daithí Burke has yet to return to field training with the county hurlers, while former captain David Burke will also be available in ten days’ time after taking an extended off-season to do some travelling.
