Greene bows out as Mount Sion boss after delivering championship hat-trick
Greene announced to the club AGM that his time as hurling boss is over and the formidable task of carrying on his rich legacy has been entrusted to Paraic Fanning, whose family has been involved with the Monastery club since its foundation in the 1930s.
Greene’s departure was without acrimony or controversy, the man himself believing that three years at the managerial helm was long enough. However, the club’s unlucky one-point defeat to Toomevara in the Munster club championship final left him devastated and most probably accelerated his decision to call it a day.
