Weeks before Tipp seniors’ new manager known

NICKY ENGLISH’S successor as manager of the Tipperary senior hurling team will not be appointed for several weeks.

It was expected that an announcement would be made at last night’s meeting of the Tipperary County Board, but it was not made.

However, board secretary Michael O’Brien, a member of the special eight-man committee given the responsibility to select the new manager, revealed yesterday that the committee had not yet completed its work.
