DUBLIN HAVE APPOINTED Micheál Donoghue as their new senior hurling on a three-year term.
The 2017 Galway All-Ireland senior winning boss fills the vacancy created by the departure of Mattie Kenny, the Dublin county board revealing the appointment this morning.
Donoghue will be assisted by selectors Francis Forde, Noel Larkin and Shane O’Brien in his new role.
Both Forde and Larkin would have worked with him previously in his time with Galway. O’Brien is a hugely experienced figure in Dublin hurling and will also take on the role of Dublin U20 hurling boss for the next three years.
He stepped down last August from his position as Westmeath senior hurling manager, having been at the helm for two years. More recently he has been working with Wexford club Oulart-the-Ballagh, helping them win the intermediate title as they regained their senior status in the county.

Kenny departed as Dublin manager in early July, having taken the reins first in 2018. Dublin contested the Leinster final in 2020 but failed to qualify from the round-robin stage of the provincial championship this season.
Donoghue enjoyed huge success as Galway manager as he guided them to the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2017. They also won Leinster senior hurling titles in 2017 and 2018, along with the National League in 2017. Previously Donoghue managed his club Clarinbridge when they claimed All-Ireland glory in 2011.

Great to get through but it’s not the one we wanted, Roll on the Huns on Sunday
@Alan Brazil: Jesus Alan. We have something in common. Big game for the hoops
@Alan Brazil: same craic every year , start to improve after getting knocked out of champions league..still though would have got some spanking in the group they would been in , Barca ,Dortmund, inter . Gone are the glory days when they could get a champions league result . .
I don’t know what has gone on with Lennon and Sinclair. Sinclair good for 20 goals a season and he’s been frozen out in favour of Lewis Morgan.. Lennon seems to make stupid decisions, Celtic clearly through with 20 mins to go and he leaves all his star players on with an important game on Sunday. Edwaurd then goes off injured..
@David Garland: Stop your whinging, they won 4-1 what more do you want? Get behind Lennon and the team rather than complain
An away win in Europe is rare. A score line of 4-1 is unheard of. Good to see the holy goalie back in Glasgow.
A nice double on Sunday would be nice. Starting with the Celts and finishing with 5 in a row.
Hail Hail.
Up the Dubs.
It’s not whining wanting to know why one of our better players is not even making the bench. As I said Sinclair contributes around 20 goals a season and by the looks of Rangers this season Celtic could do with his goals, he’s a far better option that Morgan who shouldn’t be near a Celtic jersey..
Very poor performance but still put 4 goals on the board. Great going forward but my good God the backline is woeful. Whoever scouted Boli needs sacking, that lad is a bomb scare. Hopefully Lennon can get it right before the transfer window closes and get in a few decent signings for a change.
Played well, can they meet rangers in group?
@Dougal67: not until the knock out stages, teams from the same country are kept apart
