Gough wants Daly to stay in Dublin hot seat

DUBLIN defender Oisin Gough has backed calls for Anthony Daly to remain in charge of the county’s senior hurlers for a third season.

There has been doubt over Daly’s future since Dublin’s shock All-Ireland qualifier exit against Antrim in July but Gough believes the Clare man is the best man for the job.

“I personally would like to see him stay on. He’s an excellent manager. Everyone gets on very well with him. He’s the right man for the job and I think it would encourage him. He likes what’s coming up through the ranks and the set-up at underage and is very encouraged by it. It’s his decision and whether he feels the seniors are going well enough next year is another story.”
