Galway Bay FM Sport understands that all three candidates nominated for the
Galway Senior Hurling Managers position have all decided to withdraw from the
process to select the new manager. Outgoing selectors Noel Larkin
(Meelick/Eyrecourt) and Francis Forde (Turloughmore), along with Tony Ward
(Sarsfields) were the three names in the hat.
On Monday, former Galway Senior Camogie & Galway U21 hurling manager
Tony Ward indicated that he was not going forward to the Interview process and now comes the news that both Noel Larkin and
Francis Forde have also pulled out of the race to become Senior manager.
Interviews with the candidates had expected to be set up imminently but this
decision by the three nominees to withdraw will serve to both elongate the
process to find a successor to Micheal Donoghue as well as adding further
scrutiny to the fallout since the departure of the 2017 All Ireland winning
manager.
