Flynn new Carlow U21 hurling manager

WATERFORD'S Paul Flynn has been announced as Carlow’s new U21 hurling manager.

The man who hit a staggering 24-181 in 46 championship games for his county will take over from fellow Deise Kevin Ryan, the county's senior manager, who will stay on as a selector with members of the senior's selectors.

Flynn and Ryan worked together when Justin McCarthy managed Waterford and the fact that the county minors are being trained by Philly Flynn, also of Deise stock, makes it a unique hat-trick in Carlow.
