Galway have been dealt a significant blow with the news that key player Cillian McDaid is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a leg injury last weekend.

The All-Star suffered a fractured tibia while playing for his club Monivea Abbey on Sunday in the Galway intermediate semi-final. McDaid went down in the first half of the game against Cortoon Shamrocks and eventually limped off the field. Monivea Abbey went on to secure a 2-12 to 0-11 victory. They will take on Kilconly in the intermediate decider next week.
