GALWAY HURLING MANAGER Anthony Cunningham is ‘interested’ in seeing out the final year of his term despite their disappointing season.
Cunningham is due to meet again with the Galway hurling board as part of an ongoing review following his second season in charge.
Up for discussion will be the Tribe’s defeat against Dublin in the Leinster final as well as their championship exit at the hands of Clare.

Coach Mattie Kenny resigned his position for personal reasons last month but he believes Cunningham wants to stay on.
“I know he’s met with the interview committee a couple of times now so that process is going on,” Kenny said.
I haven’t been talking to Anthony for the last couple of weeks but I know that he is interested, himself and Tom [Helebert, selector], in seeing out the three-year term.
After taking Kilkenny to a replay in the All-Ireland final last year, Kenny admits that Galway did not live up to their promise in 2013.
But he feels the county’s future is bright with some strong underage talent on the cusp of a senior breakthrough.
If the open nature of this year’s Championship is anything to go by, there’s no reason why Galway can’t challenge again next season.
“It was a hugely disappointing year for Galway, hugely disappointing year for us,” Kenny said.
We didn’t perform at the level that we’d have wished to, and I suppose expected to.
We’re very disappointed as are everyone in Galway, but Galway hurling is very, very strong; very strong underage teams there, very strong club championship.
He added: “I think you’re going to have a pretty open Championship for the next few years. It’s whichever team really gets their players in good form, strong focus, that’ll be really in with a good chance.
“Every championship for the next few years, there’s a number of teams that can win it starting off which can only be good for the competition.”
Galway minors enter the championship at the quarter final stage Kevin so it’s not correct to say they only have to win 2 games to win an All Ireland.
It’s hardly their fault that they have no opposition in Connacht.
Galway are as far away now from winning an all Ireland as they have ever been… 1988 since last success yet county team think it’s their right to be classed as contenders every year…a underage structure which allows minor and u21 a automatic route into semi finals every year… Every other year they play minnows of the north. Kids growing up with a huge superiority complex thinking how great they are playing in final stages of competitions without putting in any serious hard work prior..the excuses given by powers that be for their exclusion in their place in Leinster like their seniors is laughable and pathetic.. Leaving cert worries, extra travel, no home games etc etc…..
A minor manager in charge with almost 10 years who needs to win 2 games to win an all Ireland??? How many has he won during his watch????
Is it any wonder that supermacs are considering their future involvement with Galway hurling !!!
@keven as a clare man maybe you should comment after the senior all ireland replay. galway were in the same position as clare last year, needing an injury time point to make a draw of it. clare have nothing won yet to be commenting on the health galway hurling.
