David Burke returns for Galway in one of Shefflin's two changes to face Cork

Ronan Glennon comes into the Tribesmen’s attack.

GALWAY MANAGER HENRY Shefflin has recalled the Tribesmen’s 2017 All-Ireland-winning captain David Burke to his starting lineup for tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter-final with Cork in Thurles.

Burke, 32, is one of two changes to the Galway side which disappointed against Kilkenny in the Leinster final earlier this month, the St Thomas’ man replacing Johnny Coen in midfield.

Shefflin’s other change is to introduce Ronan Glennon at half-forward, with Brian Concannon dropping to the bench after a scoreless outing against the Cats last day out.

Cianan Fahy, who successfully appealed a proposed two-match ban for an alleged stamping offence in the Leinster final, retains his starting place at full-forward.
