Galway’s top hurling official has praised the role of former Irish rugby coach Eddie O’Sullivan in the appointment of Henry Shefflin as the new manager of the Tribesmen.

And Paul Bellew, Galway hurling chairman, confirmed that Bernard Dunne, the high-performance director with the IABA, was also part of the interview panel but withdrew when it emerged that Davy Fitzgerald, a good friend who he has worked with previously in Waterford, was in the running for the job.
