Galway manager snaps up Tipperary fitness coach

Galway senior hurling manager Micheál Donoghue has pulled off a major coup by poaching highly-rated strength and conditioning coach Lukasz Kirszenstein from All-Ireland champions Tipperary.

Donoghue watched Polish native Kirszenstein at close quarters when he was involved with Tipp in a backroom capacity alongside former manager Eamon O’Shea in 2014 and 2015.

And having learned that Limerick-based Kirszenstein was available, Donoghue moved quickly to secure his services, leaving Premier County manager Michael Ryan with a void to fill.
