BRIAN LOHAN HAS been confirmed as the new Clare senior hurling manager.
“Brian Lohan has been appointed Clare Senior Hurling Manager for 2 years with an option of 3rd year, following a review at the end of the 2nd year,” Clare GAA tweeted this evening.
It’s understood he was ratified at a county board meeting this evening. Lohan was the only candidate still in the frame to become the next Banner boss after Louis Mulqueen withdrew last week.
He now becomes the fifth member of Clare All-Ireland winning 90s teams to take over as senior hurling boss, following in the footsteps of Cyril Lyons, Anthony Daly, Ger O’Loughlin and Davy Fitzgerald.

Lohan won two All-Irelands, four All-Stars and three Munster crowns as a player, and while he guided University of Limerick’s Fitzgibbon Cup side in recent years and was involved with club outfits Patrickswell and Cratloe, he’s now tasked with getting Clare back on track after a disappointing 2019.
Gerry O’Connor departed the post in September, before fellow joint manager Donal Moloney stepped down earlier this month.

Attempts to find a replacement sparked controversy as the Clare players released a statement expressing their frustrations at the process. Former backroom team members also criticised the behaviour towards Moloney.
A new boss was set to be appointed a few weeks back at a county board meeting, though it was alternatively announced that an interview process would commence for the vacancy following a motion put forward by the Scariff club.

Scousers don’t care about this game. More interested in Utd losing to Spurs.
@Olllie B: No not really you don’t have to be from Liverpool to be scouser. Northern Europe sailors brought a stew recipe to ports in England but mostly Liverpool. The dish was called Lobscouse. Those people in Liverpool who ate it were called Scousers.
Huddersfield fans out in force I see… who knew?
Come on Huddersfield
Well its Huddersfield for me…
If Klopp loses this…he’ll have to walk alone !!
@dannyboy: never!!
@Joe Kennedy: tbf Klopp is a joke at this stage.
But but but No Coutinho??? Ahhhh sure the January transfer window is nearly upon us so his back is probably playing up again
@powerfix: numbskull
If that defence is correct, I give up.
Im not even sure Lovren shagging Klopps missus would put him out of the team, Might be his downfall.
So Lovern’s punishment for being absolutely useless last week and costing his team 2 goals is to be rewarded with another start? The mind boggles
@Brian O’Loughlin: its common knowledge amongst real pool fans that lovern’s Mrs ran off another guy. So idiots here should really give him a break.
$hit happens to everyone from every walk of life. If things happen in your personal life that effect your performance or prevent you from doing your job properly you shouldn’t be there. Would you want a depressed pilot flying your plane? How is putting him in the firing line supposed to help him anyway? If anything it will make him worse
@Mr Nimziki: oh lord. You drop him till his heads right ffs.
@Nial D: so kick a man when he’s down is the answer
Klopp took off Lovren after 30 mins last week but now he’s starting again wttttfff
Sacked by your best man…,you’re getting sacked by your best man … sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnn ..you’re getting sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnnn….
@powerfix: nitwit
@powerfix: Jeez. My 12yr old has more imagination, and he’s far less childish than that. I’d say your parents are very proud.
If we don’t win kiss top 4 goodbye YNWA
@Ollie Watson: that ship sailed ages ago dude. Ye will be lucky to nick Thursday night ball next season.
Well wagner said he best friends with klippty that goal proved it
Is Coutinho dropped?
@Nollaig Elliot: “injured”
Time to get a run going after some recent blips
Glad for Sturidge to score his first goal in two months great player
