Third time lucky - McIntyre named new hurling boss

Former Tippery hurler John McIntyre has been handed the Galway hurling manager's job - at the third time of asking.

[Sean Conway]

To use a racing analogy: this horse has moved from stable to stable without finding winning form in different kinds of ground.
Still well handicapped, but shows a tendency to tie up when nearing the winning post. Looks well in the paddock, but has yet to find the proper trip and proper weight.
Tried on the flat , over hurdles and fences so another change of stable MIGHT be the solution.
Deserves a win for persistence and effort, but not one to back. Different jockeys have been tried but all failed. An enigma wrapped in mystery!!

Just hand over the maroon jerseys to Portumna!

[Lurgan]

Not only give the maroon jerseys to Portumna, give the rest of the Galway hurlers Irish dancing skirts and send them back to Dubai.
