Missing Galway hurling star David Burke will still make presence felt

GALWAY’S hurlers may have lost their midfield general but David Burke will still be playing some part when they take on Wexford in the first round of the Leinster SHC on Saturday.

The St Thomas’ star has switched to a role in the Tribesmen’s backroom, despite being on crutches after undergoing cruciate surgery two weeks ago.
