Kerins loses out in new manager’s squad

New Galway hurling manager John McIntyre has already started to ring the changes.

Alan Kerins, Tony Og Regan, Eugene Cloonan, Conor Dervan, and Kevin Hayes have all been omitted from his preliminary squad.

Kerins is the biggest talking point, having been a regular on the Galway senior side for the past 11 years. He last started at left half-forward on the team that lost to Cork in the All-Ireland qualifiers this year.

Hayes featured at centre forward in this year’s All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Cork, while centre back Regan last played for Galway in their National Hurling League final defeat to Tipperary in April.

Instead David Tierney is back in the squad, while David Forde, David Collins, Kerill Wade and Iarla Tannion must wait till their injuries have cleared.

Provisional Galway hurling panel: J Skehill, C Callanan, O Canning, B Costello, E Lynch, J Lee, F Healy, G Mahon, F Moore, J Canning, N Healy, R Murray, K Hynes, K O’Donovan, B Burke, G Farragher, S Kavanagh, A Coen, D McLearn, E Forde, K Huban, B Mahony, J Gantley, M Ryan, C Donnellan, A Smyth, P Killilea, M Kerins, D Hayes, A Cullinane, D Joyce, D Tierney, N Hayes.
