Henry Shefflin’s appointment as Galway manager has offered a lot of out-of-favour players the chance to stake a claim and Eanna Burke is one of those hoping to make the most of the opportunity.

Burke, a sub in 2017 when his older David lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup, was dropped from the squad at the outset of this year and he’s hoping that his form for county champions St Thomas’ will catch the eye of the new Galway manager.
