Laois officially appoint Cahill

His appointment has been known of in GAA circles for the past three weeks, but Dinny Cahill was officially appointed as the new Laois senior hurling manager at a County Board meeting last night.

The Tipperary native, who watched the midlanders' recent county championship with interest, beat off challenges from Pat Roe, Ricky Cashin, Joe Dollard and Seamus Plunkett for the position.
