ANTHONY DALY HAS stepped down as manager of Dublin, the county have confirmed tonight.
Having helped the Dubs win the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2013, they failed to emulate the achievement this year and produced a number of underwhelming performances, with the former Clare hurler’s future the subject of much speculation prior to tonight.
Moreover, a statement from the Dubs released this evening reads:
“Dublin GAA can confirm that Anthony Daly has ended his tenure as our senior hurling manager. Anthony served as Dublin Manager for six years and during that period brought us back to the top table in the game. His loyalty to the cause, his expertise, his charisma and drive were key factors as Dublin climbed back up the rankings and moved forward from being one of the also-rans. Anthony leaves Dublin in a much healthier position having retained our Division 1A status earlier this year.

“While this year ended in disappointment we enjoyed some incredible days during his term. At the start of May in 2011 Dublin captured their first NHL Division 1 title since 1939 and we will never forget the joy of being crowned Leinster SHC champions in 2013, ending a barren run in the province that stretched back 52 years.
“We wish to take this opportunity to thank Anthony and his management teams during his time for all their incredible work and dedication as well as the colour that his great personality brought to Dublin hurling. Dublin GAA wish Anthony and his Selectors, Ciaran Hetherton, Richie Stakelum, Shane Martin and the rest of his management team all the best for the future.”
