Ó Maoilchiaráin: Comer and Walsh closing on on return

The Tribesmen will begin their drive for five Connacht SFC titles in a row when they play Leitrim in Carrick-on-Shannon on Saturday and Comer isn't expected to feature.

Seán Ó Maoilchiaráin says Galway colleague and workmate Damien Comer is 'pushing really, really hard' to make it back for the Championship.

Powerful full-forward Comer, 32, has been plagued by injuries in recent years and has only started one game, a League tie against Kerry in 2025, since the 2024 All-Ireland final.
