Winning captains to take the hot seats

FORMER All-Ireland winning captains Anthony Daly and Páidi Ó Sé are set to be named managers of Clare and Westmeath respectively this week while Birr’s Pa Joe Whelehan is to take the Limerick hurling hot seat.

Daly, who skippered Clare to All-Ireland SHC titles in 1995 and 1997 admitted that he has been approached to succeed Cyril Lyons but has made no decision.

“My position is that I was approached by a few people about the position,” said Daly when he was interviewed after the county final.
