The hurling championship throws in this weekend - without David Burke. The Galway talisman will be just under two weeks post cruciate knee ligament surgery.
At 34 he’s not thinking too far ahead, but Burke is hoping to return for the group stages of the Galway Championship if reigning champions, St. Thomas get there.
Burke is a huge loss to Galway for his leadership and his ability. Few, if any, have given more to the Galway cause over the past decade.
