Doyle ratified as Tipp hurling boss

MICHAEL DOYLE was last night officially ratified as manager of the Tipperary senior hurlers, at a meeting of the county board in Thurles.

Doyle, who replaces Nicky English, will have a two-man selection team. This will consist of former inter-county defender and intermediate team manager Liam Sheedy and Kevin Fox, a brother of Allstar Pat, who was boss of the county U21 side two years ago.

Those appointments were made by the Tipperary County Board in consultation with Doyle.
