Opportunities knock as Galway transition to life without Joe 

Today represents the first time in 15 years that there is no Canning involved with the Galway seniors at championship time.

New Galway boss Henry Shefflin will make his intercounty championship managerial debut in Wexford Park on Saturday evening.

No Joe Canning. No Aidan Harte. No Adrian Tuohey. No Niall Burke. 

In their place, a slew of championship debutants, each one given their start by the Kilkenny man now running the show out west.
