A Limerick legend will manage the Kerry senior hurlers next year

Ciaran Carey takes over from Eamonn Kelly in the Kingdom hotseat.

KERRY WILL NEXT month ratify Limerick hurling legend Ciarán Carey as their new manager.

The Kingdom have been looking for a new manager since Tipperary native Eamonn Kelly stepped down during the summer.

In a remarkable 2015 campaign, new Offaly boss Kelly masterminded promotion to Division 1B of the Allianz League and Christy Ring Cup glory, ensuring that Kerry will return to the All-Ireland senior hurling championship, via the Leinster round-robin series.

The hole left by Kelly will be filled by former Limerick star Carey, a veteran of two Munster Championships and three All-Stars as a player.

He also scored this iconic winning point against Clare in the 1996 Munster senior hurling championship, a score that ended the Banner County’s reign as provincial and All-Ireland kingpins:

Carey has also had two separate spells in charge of his native Limerick’s U21s and he also worked as a selector under former senior boss Donal O’Grady.

This year, Carey was in charge of the Patrickswell team narrowly beaten by Na Piarsaigh in the Limerick SHC final.

Carey will announce his management team at a later date, a Kerry statement revealed.

‘In a county final at 42 years of age, it doesn’t get much better than that’

‘We’re arch-rivals on the field but we were united in the meeting rooms’

    The Ryder Cup has always been a Tournament That has held the interest of golf Fans of Europe much more than your average American Fan.Americans have had only a fleeting interest :We don’t hold the RYDER in Reverence like TheMASTERS,BRITISH OPEN,US OPEN – MAJORS.The Great European Golfers,We See All the time,Many are based here,viewed not as Foreigners but as great individual athletes,place of origin is inconsequential.It’s not a Team Sport,but that’s changing here to a”Must See”Event.This year Ratings are through The Roof & it’s all because of the presence of the revered TIGER WOODS’ resurgence back into the Upper Echelon Of Golf ,not for any Patriotism for AMERICA but as an opportunity to again see him compete with the Best
