Kilkenny clubs to have their say on appointment of new senior hurling manager
The clubs in the county have been asked to send in their recommendations
The talk of the county continues to centre around the race to be the next Kilkenny senior hurling manager.
It’s been just over a week since Derek Lyng stepped away as the hurling manager after four years at the helm and after Tuesday night’s County Board meeting, it has been confirmed the clubs in the county will get their chance to give their recommendations for the new man in the role as well as the entire senior management team.
As well as that, the clubs have also been invited to submit observations on current hurling structures in the county and the possible improvements that could be implemented.
Taking this on board, a five person committee will be set up to appoint the management team for the 2027 season. This will include three representatives from the current County Board and two from outside.
This is something of a new departure and it will be interesting to see how it all fares out for all the parties involved.
