Noel Lane has lost his job as manager of the Galway county hurling team and has been replaced by the inexperienced Conor Hayes who has been given a 2-year term in the post. Galway have not won the All-Ireland title in 14 years. Hayes was the captain in 1987 and 88, while the Kiltormer man also appeared in 6 All Ireland finals.
Meanwhile, former All Star John Considine is expected to be named as the new Cork Hurling manager.
