Double boost for Galway hurlers as Burkes return
Galway hurlers are likely to be boosted by the return of Daithí and David Burke in time for their NHL clash with All-Ireland champions Tipperary next week, but Shane O’Neill is planning without the services of Joseph Cooney and John Hanbury for the foreseeable future.
All-Ireland club football winners with Corofin, Daithí Burke has yet to return to field training with the county hurlers, while former captain David Burke will also be available in ten days’ time after taking an extended off-season to do some travelling.
Galway started their league campaign with a straight forward win over Westmeath, but slipped to an eight-point defeat to Limerick last time out, and O’Neill is excited by the prospect of the All Star duo returning.
“David should be back in the next ten days I’d say. Absolutely (it’s a boost). He’s a former captain and a magnificent player. He’ll be back home in the next few days,” said O’Neill.
“Daithí Burke will be back as well. He is not out on the pitch with us yet: he is doing his own work. What has has been doing is slightly different from football to hurling.”
Last summer Galway suffered their earliest exit from the championship for nearly 60 years when they failed to emerge from the Leinster championship. Both Joseph Cooney and Jonathan Glynn started their final game of the season against Dublin after missing out on sections of the season, and O’Neill has spoken to both players about doing similar this season.
