Who is on Galway senior hurling stand by squad this weekend
THE GALWAY senior hurling team along with the stand by squad has been named for Sunday’s All-Ireland Hurling final showdown with Limerick.
TJ Brennan, Oisin Lohan, Evan Niland and Declan McLaughlin have all been named on the stand by list for Galway this weekend. If any of the players drop out of the Galway 26 man panel on match day due to injury, one of the players on the stand by list will be called up to the Galway match day panel.
Micheal Donoghue has named an unchanged Galway senior hurling team to take on Limerick on Sunday at 3:30pm in Croke Park. Colm Lyons takes charge of the All-Ireland Hurling final.
After powering on through injury in Galway’s All-Ireland semi-final win over Cork, Daithi Burke has been deemed fit enough to start. Burke picked up a knee injury in the Leinster final but he has been to battle on and remain a crucial part of the Galway defence.
Meanwhile, Rory Burke misses this Sunday’s All-Ireland final with a hamstring injury. Burke limped off with a hamstring injury in Galway’s Leinster final win over Dublin. The Oranmore Maree clubman missed the All-Ireland semi-final. Limerick manager John Kiely has made two changes to his starting line up with Mike Casey and Cian Lynch coming into the team. Darragh O’Donovan and Dan Morrissey drop to the bench.
