O’Shea takes on job of leading Tipperary back to summit

Eamon O’Shea was ratified as Tipperary’s new senior hurling team manager at a county board meeting in Thurles last night.

The Galway-based professor worked alongside Liam Sheedy as coach when the Premier County won the All-Ireland senior title in 2010.

Sheedy, O’Shea and selector Michael Ryan were appointed in 2007 and served for three seasons at the helm, before vacating their positions following the All-Ireland success two years ago.
