Galway hurler David Burke has said the Tribesmen are “buzzing” to begin working with new manager Henry Shefflin.

The Kilkenny legend was the surprise choice of Galway’s high-profile selection committee in mid-October, with the county’s 2017 All-Ireland-winning captain Burke describing the appointment as “fierce positive”.
