As expected, Declan Ryan has been appointed the new GAA Tipperary senior hurling manager, succeeding All-Ireland winning manager Liam Sheedy, on a two-year contract basis.
Declan, who is a winner of three All-Ireland senior hurling medals, (1989, 1991 and 2001) will be joined on the management team by Thurles Sarsfields‘ back to back county championship winning manager Michael Gleeson and former ‘Hurler of the Year’ Tommy Dunne .
Michael Gleeson will remain with Thurles Sarsfields until their participation in the Munster and All-Ireland club competitions comes to an end.
County Board Chairman Barry O’Brien stated this evening “I think we have gotten the best three available men in the county and I compliment them for their bravery in taking on the job at a very tough time with Tipperary presently at the summit.”
