Galwey steps down as Shannon’s head coach

FORMER Munster and Ireland international Mick Galwey has stepped down as Shannon head coach after a successful four-year reign at the Limerick club.

However, the former Munster captain, who led his province to two Heineken Cup finals in 2000 and 2002, will stay active in the club from the next season.

His successor has yet to be named but Geoff Moylan, who coached Shannon to AIL titles in 2002 and 2004, is one of the favourites to take over from ‘Gaillimh’.
