FORMER GALWAY HURLER Johnny Glynn has been named in New York’s 40-man panel for their Connacht senior championship opener with Roscommon on 1 May.
Glynn left for America following his county’s defeat to Kilkenny in the 2015 All-Ireland hurling final and has been named alongside former Galway footballer Johnny Duane who will captain the team in Gaelic Park.
Duane actually lined out against New York in last year’s provincial opener which the American side lost by 16 points.
Killian Moynagh, a former All-Ireland U21 winner with Galway, has also been selected by Justin O’Halloran and his backroom team.
