Joyce 'can see why' Hurson appointed All-Ireland final referee, Kelly set to feature

“Seán is training away. He trained Tuesday night. Look, he probably wasn’t full ready the last day so we are hoping to get another two weeks into him and we will check him out."

Galway senior football manager Pádraic Joyce “can see why” Seán Hurson was appointed Sunday week’s All-Ireland football final against Armagh despite his frustrations at a late free against John Daly in the 2022 decider.

Following the All-Ireland defeat to Kerry, Joyce took issue with Hurson’s decision to award a free against Daly when the sides were level in the closing stages of normal time. Kerry went onto win by four points.
