O Curraoin to miss start of championship

March 20, 2012
Fiontan O Curraoin has been ruled out of Galway's championship opener against Roscommon.

The Michael Breathnachs clubman injured his ankle during last month's Sigerson Cup semi-final between DCU and UUJ and must undergo surgery.

The operation means he'll be out of action for at least twelve weeks, which makes him a non-runner for the May 20th Connacht SFC meeting with the Rossies.

O Curraoin joins Sean Armstrong and Michael Meehan on the sidelines and manager Alan Mulholland says in the Daily Star: "You have an idea of who you will have in various positions and then you get something like that. This impacts on your plan.

"We have different lads who are fit and lads who are not, so we just have to make the best of what we have at the moment."
