KEN HOGAN AND WILLIAM MAHER STEP DOWN
Tipperary County Board has been informed by Ken Hogan and William Maher that they are stepping down as under 21 and minor hurling managers respectively. Ken has completed 4 years as under 21 manager and led Tipperary to Munster and All Ireland titles in 2010. William has been minor hurling manager for the last 2 years and for the 2 years previous to that served as an under 21 selector with Ken. William led Tipperary to Munster and All Ireland minor hurling titles in 2012. Tipperary County Board is very grateful to both Ken and William for their service in recent years in team management and over a long period to the GAA in the county. We would also like to thank the outgoing under 21 selectors, TJ Connolly and Tony Lanigan, and the outgoing minor selectors, Brian Horgan, Martin Maher and Noel Morris, for their service to the county. We wish them all well and look forward to their future involvement with county teams. In keeping with normal practice in Tipperary when managers step down, new management teams will now be appointed for both under 21 and minor hurling.
