Nominations made for Antrim hurling post

Current Antrim Senior Hurling manager Dinny Cahill is being challenged for his position after two other nominations for the role were submitted.

Ex Antrim trainer Jerry Wallace and former Down hurling manager John Crossey have both been nominated for the role, along with Cahill.

The Tipperary native is in his second stint at the helm with the Saffrons having succeeded the joint managerial duo of Dominic McKinley and Terence McNaughton in 2010.

During that campaign Cahill was assisted by Wallace, but the Cork native resumed his partnership with Donal O'Grady this year in Limerick, with the Shannonsiders claiming Division 2 league silverware.

Crossey took charge of Antrim's minor hurlers this year, where they lost by 38 points in the All-Ireland quarter-final to Galway after capturing Ulster honours thanks to a slender final win over Armagh.

The Belfast native has been a contender for the Antrim Senior role in the past.
