Former Tipperary hurler takes over county's All-Ireland-winning U20 side

John Devane fills the vacancy left by new Waterford hurling boss Liam Cahill.

FORMER TIPPERARY HURLER John Devane will take over the Premier county’s All-Ireland-winning U20 side.

The Clonoulty/Rossmore clubman replaces Liam Cahill, who stepped down from the post in September and has since taken charge of the Waterford senior hurlers.

Cahill spent two years in charge of the Tipperary young guns, steering the county to All-Ireland U21 and U20 success in 2018 and 2019.

They were crowned Munster U20 champions this season too, while Cahill also oversaw back-to-back provincial minor crowns in 2015 and 2016 and an All-Ireland in the latter year.

Now, Devane, who coached his club Clonoulty/Rossmore to the Tipperary senior hurling title in 2018 and has enjoyed plenty of success at Thurles CBS, takes over.

Toomevara’s Ken Dunne will also come in as a coach, with selectors to be confirmed.

    While they will both go down as 2 of the best pound for pounders, I think they’ll both also go down as the top two guys who devalued the sport of boxing as much as anybody else. I love boxing but if you look at the politics and corruption without boxing, it’s such an ugly sport.
    If both men really wanted to prove their the best then they would have made this fight happen… Mayweather is the best of all time but not fighting Pac shows he wasn’t the bravest or most courageous fighter of all time and has selected a hard, talented but ultimately lower class fighter such as Maidana for his next fight… that’s where the true art of boxing has been lost over the last decade.

    Once upon a time Pacquaio might have beaten Mayweather but that time had passed in afraid. Love him or hate him Mayweather is one of the best we’ve ever seen.

    He continues to damage his credibility as a boxer and his fighting legacy with stupid throwaway comments like this.

    If the challenging fighter isn’t a come forward brawler who walks into punches every round Mayweather has no interest in fighting them.

    He will eventually give Pacquiao a shot so he can collect a massive payday, but only when Pacmans legs are completely gone, the same way he made Shane Moseley wait the best part of a decade until he was way, way past his prime and had the cheek to promote the farce as a “superfight”….
