GALWAY STAR DAVID Burke has sustained a cruciate ligament knee injury and will miss the remainder of the season.

Burke, Galway’s all-time championship appearance holder, came on as a substitute in last weekend’s win over Clare in Ennis.
The St Thomas midfielder is a four-time All-Star and has been a central figure for club and county through the years.
