Every day in Thurles was a school day when @Lacey_Brian was on the pitch. Great to work with and a wizard of a coach. I learned alot from you buddy. Best of luck in the next cartoon😂👌

Lacey’s departure follows on from strength and conditioning coach Dave Moriarty deciding to move on in late June. Moriarty had also played a key role in recent times in helping Glen Rovers win Cork senior hurling crowns.
Thanks for everything you’ve done for us Darcy. Always gave us 100% and always expected the best of us. A hard act to follow. Dressing room will be a lot quieter without you!
Liam Kearns is expected to stay at the helm for the 2019 season, after being given a new two-year term at the end of last year’s campaign. He will have to assemble a new backroom team now after a 2018 run that saw Tipperary narrowly miss out on promotion to Division 1 of the league before their championship campaign saw a Munster semi-final exit at the hands of Cork and an All-Ireland qualifier loss to Mayo.
