Joe Canning on song with Portumna on the rise again

Portumna’s Joe Canning
Joe Canning’s first season out of inter-county hurling is coinciding with a revival in his club’s fortunes and the former Hurler of the Year was the key figure as Portumna surprised Craughwell to advance to the quarter-finals of the Galway SHC.
Canning hit 1-8, with seven of the points from frees, as Portumna rallied in difficult conditions this Saturday afternoon in Loughrea to win this preliminary quarter-final by 2-10 to 0-13.
