County board pays tribute to English

Glowing tributes were paid to former Tipperary senior hurling boss Nicky English at the monthly meeting of the County GAA Board after it was announced by Chairman Con Hogan that he was standing down.

All the speculation and rumour about Nicky's future was finally put to bed when delegates to the board were informed that Nicky was stepping down as manager of the senior hurling team - a position he held for four years.
