Excitement and Anticipation is falling over the Galway Giants camp this weekend with the imminent return of star utility player Ronan Shaughnessy. Often compared to fellow Irish man, John O'Shea, for his ability to play effectively in a wide variety of roles from Goalkeeper to Striker, Shaughnessy has just recently returned from a unsuccessful stint in North America. Although his North American career got off to a good start with him and his team, Kellys Legion, winning their first two games, Shaughnessy returned home mid season, 2 and 9 and with a misely two goals to his name. With confidence at an all time low, it remains to be seen if Shaughnessy will be called upon for tomorrow nights upcoming game. However with injuries to Barry Murphy and Kieran Coyne (Ankle and Hamstring), Enda Thornton struggling with 'fitness' and both David Mulligan and Adrian Coyne both struggling to find any sort of form, Shaughnessy might be thrown into the fray sooner then expected. If he is, Shaughnessy, pictured here in action for Galway Aussie rules team, the Midwest Magpies, will be looking to hit the ground running and turn the Giants equally dismal season around.
