Barry Myers edges club legend 'Fraggy' Murphy in Sars senior manager vote

Former minor and U21 manager wil bring Paudie Kissane in as part of his new management team

NEW MAN: barry Myers is the new man at the helm for Sarsfields' senior hurlers in Cork this year. 

Barry Myers is the new manager of Sarsfields’ senior hurlers in Cork, beating off the challenge of club legend and All-Ireland winner, Kieran ‘Fraggy’ Murphy, in a vote today.

Over 75 per cent of the eligible members voted and delivered a surprise endorsement of 48-year-old Myers, who has coached the club’s minors and U21 to county championship success in the past. Myers takes over from Brian Roche as senior manager after a season where the club’s seniors were surprisingly beaten by local rivals Erin’s Own in a Premier Cork SHC quarter final.
