Joe Canning admits Galway hurling isn’t in a good place.

Speaking on The Sunday Game after they were knocked out of the Championship by Dublin, the Portumna man also questioned the Tribesmen's gameplan or lack thereof in the Leinster SHC Round 5 defeat at Pearse Stadium.

“It is fairly depressing to be honest as a supporter and an ex-player," Canning said.

"I know a lot of the guys from playing with them. It is not in a good place at the moment.

"They never got going this year. Throughout the League and then in the Championship - they were lucky to draw against Kilkenny who were missing some key players.

"Then the sending off against Antrim had a big bearing in it before they pulled away in that before losing to Wexford and then losing today. It is not good and they'll be very disappointed with the year."

The 2017 All-Ireland SHC winner added: “You could see Dublin had a game plan today. When you look at Galway - I am not too sure.

"I couldn't see how they were playing, how they were working the ball out and how they were feeding it into the forwards. There was no real structure as such."
