What's really going on with Galway hurling? Wooly looks into the fallout from Anthony Cunningham's departure

Yesterday evening, Anthony Cunningham released an incredibly strongly-worded statement as he announced his departure as Galway hurling manager.

It was the culmination of a period of huge uncertainty around his future and tensions with a significant number of players.

In his statement, Cunningham claimed that the turn of events were "a kangaroo court decision, led by a core group of players orchestrated with the help of others outside Galway".

Today, Off The Ball's Colm 'Wooly' Parkinson was getting to the bottom of the matter, speaking to a number of key sources, and on tonight's show he spoke about the information provided to him.
