Big Blow For Galway As All-Ireland Club Star Opts Out Of Panel For 2026<\/p>\n
It is understood that Anthony Burns will not be involved with the Galway Senior hurlers for the remainder of the 2026 campaign due to work and travel commitments, as first reported by Maurice Brosnan of the Irish Examiner.<\/a><\/p>\n Anthony Burns was a useful attacking option for Galway in 2025. He struck 2-3 in Galway\u2019s league clash with Clare 12 months ago, a performance that underlined his eye for goal, and later featured off the bench in the Leinster final defeat to Kilkenny.<\/p>\n Next up for Mich\u00e9al Donoghue and his Galway side is a trip to Birr to face an Offaly who are also winless after their opening two game. The Faithful have not beaten the Tribesmen in a competitive fixture since their league win in February 2001, also in Birr, but Galway will be wary of leaning too heavily on history as they attempt to steady the ship and build momentum in this new era.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: Former Tipperary All-Star Forward Completes Surprise Transfer To Louth Club<\/a>
