Dublin delays hurling manager decision

The position of Dublin hurling manager remains vacant after no white smoke emerged from last night’s county board meeting.

It was expected that either Pat Gilroy or Mattie Kenny would be recommended for the position, but there was no development as to who will succeed Ger Cunningham, with the board citing unforeseen circumstances.

Gilroy managed the Dublin footballers to All-Ireland glory in 2011, while Kenny, a former Galway selector to Anthony Cunningham, steered Cuala to All-Ireland club glory back in March, the first Dublin club to lift the Tommy Moore Cup.
