Antrim
Kevin Ryan is set to stay on as Antrim senior hurling manager for another two years. The former Carlow manager succeeded Jerry Wallace in the job in 2012.
Carlow
Pat English has taken over from John Meyler as the Barrowsiders’ hurling manager. He has been in charge of the county’s U21s for the last two years and will be “advised” in the role by John Allen.
Cork
Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s three-year term in charge of Cork officially came to an end after the 2-18 to 1-11 All-Ireland SHC semi-final defeat by Tipperary in August, having lost a final and semi-final the two years previous. But last month he announced he will continue for a further two-year term.
Clare
Davy Fitzgerald is still in the hot seat in Clare, and he’ll be hoping his team can reproduce the form of 2013 now that there’s no dual star distractions.
Dublin
After six years at the helm Anthony Daly stepped down as Dublin manager this summer. Former Cork goalkeeper and selector Ger Cunningham has been appointed as his replacement on a three-year term.
Galway
Anthony Cunningham’s three-year term ended when his side were knocked out of the All-Ireland qualifiers by Tipperary, but he re-applied for the job and is back once more.
Kilkenny
Yes, Brian Cody is still managing Kilkenny.
Laois
Seamus ’Cheddar’ Plunkett will once more take over the Laois hurling panel in the new year as the county look to continue the positive progress shown in recent years. He initially took the role on a one year term in 2012.
Limerick
Having stepped in to save the day last year, TJ Ryan has been handed a new three year deal as Limerick hurling manager.
Offaly
Despite a disappointing summer, Offaly hero Brian Whelehan is set to be at the helm for the county again next season.
Tipperary
Eamon O’Shea has committed to staying on with Tipperary for the 2015 season but it will mark his final year in charge. Intriguingly Tipperary have already revealed that current selector Michael Ryan will step up to take charge of the senior side for the 2016 campaign.
Waterford
Derek McGrath is still in charge of the Déise, but he’ll have to do without assistant manager William Maher this year after the former Tipperary underage boss stepped down during the summer.
Westmeath
In June Brian Hanley stepped down as Westmeath senior and under 21 hurling manager after three years in the job. Former Waterford bainisteoir Michael Ryan has taken the role on a three-year basis, with a review at the end of the second year.
Wexford
Ahead of last year’s championship Liam Dunne’s term was extended by two years and following a very positive campaign he’ll be gearing himself up for bigger things in 2015. He’s brought former goalkeeper Damien Fitzhenry on board as a selector for next year.

Don’t know if this lad is up to it would love to see Mark Travers, caomhin kelleher or Gavin bazunu get loan moves or start starting for their first teams.But that’s highly unlikely for kelleher or bazunu so a loan is probably needed. But I’d say Travers is better than Ramsdale at Bournemouth imo.
@James Mockler: apart from his debut,Travers has mad so many errors when given a chance,Ramsdale is a decent keeper.
@Nic Antonio: tbf travers has made mistakes but so has Ramsdale one that springs to mind is against Leicester I think vardy lobbed him from 35 yards. But I think play Travers as much as Ramsdale and you’ll potentially have a better keeper in the long run.
@James Mockler: O’Hara is a good keeper and playing first team football unlike Travers and Gavin is miles away from playing for Irish senior team.
