THE KERRY HURLERS now have a new manager after Fintan O’Connor was appointed earlier today.
O’Connor, who previously worked under Derek McGrath as part of the Waterford hurling management team, succeeds Ciarán Carey on an initial two-year deal with the option of a third year.
Carey stepped down from his position earlier this month, citing “increased work commitments” as his reason for the decision. After taking over the role in October of 2015, Carey guided Kerry to victory over Carlow in the Leinster SHC, and helped them retain their position in Division 1B of the National League.
O’Connor also served on the management team at Waterford Institute of Technology for the past three years in which they reached three Fitzgibbon Cup Finals and won it in 2014.
He well announce his management and backroom teams at a later date.

‘That got me frustrated’: Ryle Nugent hits back at RTÉ Sportsperson of the Year dissenters
Joe Sheridan set to make a comeback to Meath football as a goalkeeper
Well i answered 4 questions and got them all wrong, no need for me answer anymore.
Longford has a 100% record in All Ireland final too – they never lost a final..
I like the question about which team has a 100% record in All Ireland Football finals, I knew it but I’m from Limerick. It was the very 1st one as well.
2 stats that are great have associated with your county in their own right but probably not together.
0/12!!
I know you don’t want to appear controversial, but Michelle Smith still has her Olympic gold medals, knocking Pat and his hammer into second place?
4/12 and one was a guess… I didn’t study history for the LC, that’s my excuse!
Genuinly got 0 out of 12 bad instinct this week.
It’s Dr Pat O’Callaghan!
Oldest rugby player methinks is incorrect. Tony O Reilly played for Ireland in the 50′s/ 60′s/70′s
I have a feeling that there were more guys older than 36 !
Tony O’Reilly made his debut aged 18 in 1955 and his final appearance in 1970 aged 34. Younger than Paul O’Connell is now. Irelands oldest player was John Hayes who (god help him) played on until the age of 36.
7 out of 12 happy with that, some interesting questions there.
