NEW: Brian Hogan's Kilkenny under-20 management team announced

New Kilkenny under-20 hurling manager Brian Hogan has finalised his management team for the coming season.

The O’Loughlin Gaels clubman will be assisted by coach/selectors Conor Phelan (Clara) and James Gittens (Dicksboro), while James Ryall (Graigue Ballycallan) and Richie Power (Carrickshock) complete the backroom team as selectors.

Hogan is a familiar name within Kilkenny hurling, having enjoyed a decorated playing career, winning seven All-Irelands in black and amber along with county championships with his native club.

The proposed management team will be brought before delegates for ratification at the November meeting of Kilkenny County Board.
