Dempsey steps down

Tony Dempsey has stepped down as manager of the Wexford Senior hurling team. Dempsey lead the county to back-to-back Leinster finals when on both occasions they were beaten by Kilkenny.

Meanwhile, Antrim hurling boss Dinny Cahill has ruled out a return to his native Tipperary as speculation continues to mount regarding the future of Nicky English.

English and his backroom staff still have a year to run of their current tenure but they are reportedly considering stepping aside after their failure to defend their league and championship titles.
