Kildare to name new boss soon

TIPPERARY County Board won't be in a position to name a successor to retired hurling manager Nicky English for several weeks.

In the meantime there is speculation that the position could be offered to Ken Hogan, who has extensive experience as a selector and trainer.

Likewise, the Cork County Board executive will not get around to consider a replacement for Bertie Óg Murphy until after their scheduled meeting with the players on October 11 in advance of which the players have agreed not to make any further public statements in relation to their grievances with the Board.
