Kiltormer role for Whelahan

OFFALY legend Brian Whelahan is to manage former All-Ireland club champions Kiltormer.

Whelahan takes charge after a stint with Camross in Laois and will make the short trip from Birr into east Galway to train a Kiltormer side who won the club title in 1992.

Whelahan, who enjoyed a glittering club career, will be hoping to tap into recent underage success by Kiltormer as they bid to re-establish themselves as a powerhouse in Galway.
