Dubs set to name new boss quickly as star names in the frame

Dublin County Board have expressed their determination to crown Anthony Daly’s successor by the end of this month.

Daly ended his six-year reign as Dublin hurling manager on Monday, and board chairman Andy Kettle yesterday revealed their desire to move swiftly in filling the position vacated by the Clare native.

“I would like to see it happen by the knockout stages of our local hurling championship. That is a reasonably tight timeline [four weeks], but if it doesn’t happen by then it is not the end of the world,” Kettle said.
