Mullinahone man captained Tipperary to All-Ireland senior success 16 years ago
Eoin Kelly has been appointed as the new Tipperary Minor Hurling manager.
A former All-Ireland winning captain with Tipperary in 2010, Eoin has gained valuable experience across a number of senior inter-county and club environments.
He has been involved with both the Tipperary and Waterford senior hurling teams while also playing an active role with his club CJ Kickhams Mullinahone.
“That level of experience, combined with his knowledge of Tipperary hurling and his understanding of what is required to perform at the highest level, will be invaluable as he takes on responsibility for the county's Minor Hurling team,” the Tipperary County GAA Board said in a statement.
“The Minor grade represents an important stage in the development of young Tipperary hurlers and Eoin will place a strong emphasis on helping players develop both individually and collectively, while preparing them for the demands of inter-county hurling.
“Tipperary GAA would also like to thank all those who expressed an interest in the position and submitted applications. The quality and calibre of the applicants reflected the strong level of commitment to the development of Tipperary hurling and Tipperary GAA appreciates the time and effort involved in the process.
“Eoin's management team will be confirmed and announced in due course,” the statement concluded.
