Former Tipperary midfielder Conor Gleeson has confirmed he will step aside as Golden-Kilfeacle coach for Sunday week’s county intermediate hurling final against his own Boherlahan-Dualla.

In a last ditch attempt to avoid relegation, the former Laois and Offaly coach agreed to take over the West Tipperary club in late August but with one condition: if they faced his club, he would not be involved.
