Vacant role may tempt former All Ireland winning manager, Micheál Donogue.
GALWAY HURLING MANAGER Henry Shefflin has stepped down for the role, the second county manager to walk away within 24 hours following Davy Fitzgerald’s departure from Waterford.
They opened brightly with a win over Carlow and a draw with Kilkenny, but a shock defeat to Wexford in round three, followed by a loss to Dublin on the final round left them eliminated. A statement from Galway GAA confirmed the news, with Chairman Paul Bellew stating, “On behalf of Galway GAA, I want to place on record our sincere thanks to Henry for the leadership, energy and commitment he has given Galway hurling over the past three seasons.
“Henry has been outstanding to deal with over the last three years and this is reflected in the esteem he is held in by our players, supporters and all involved in Galway GAA.
