GALWAY WILL HAVE TO MAKE DO WITHOUT KEY ATTACKER SEAN ARMSTRONG FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE CAMPAIGN, DUE TO THE HAMSTRING INJURY HE PICKED UP IN SATURDAY'S DEFEAT TO CORK.

ARMSTRONG, WHO CAPTAINED THE TRIBESMEN IN THE GAME, WAS WITHDRAWN AFTER JUST 11 MINUTES AFTER SUFFERING THE INJURY.

MANAGER JOE KERNAN CITED HIS LOSS AS A BIG BLOW IN THE 1-19 TO 1-17 DEFEAT.

IT’S NOW EMERGED THAT SEAN ARMSTRONG COULD BE OUT FOR BETWEEN 3 AND 7 WEEKS.

GALWAY OPEN THEIR 2010 CONNACHT CHAMPIONSHIP CAMPAIGN WITH A GAME AWAY TO NEW YORK ON 2 MAY.
