That leaves outgoing selectors Noel Larkin and Francis Forde set to contest for the vacancy. The pair were both key figures during Donoghue’s spell which featured their memorable breakthrough to land the All-Ireland title two years ago.
Ward was at the helm of the Galway camogie teams that claimed a senior-intermediate double in the 2013 All-Ireland final in Croke Park. The Sarsfields man has more recently taken charge of the Galway U21 hurling side, guiding them to the Leinster title at that level in 2018.
Galway have been without a manager since August when Donoghue stepped down after serving as manager for four seasons spanning 2016-2019.
Eoin Toolan and Murray Kinsella join Gavan Casey to give an in-depth breakdown of where Ireland’s play stacks up against the contenders in Japan, and look into why New Zealand and England are primed for World Cup success.
