Former hurler of the year Dan Shanahan has been named Waterford's new camogie coach.
Shanahan teams up again with manager Fergal O'Brien, who served alongside the Lismore man as physical trainer in Derek McGrath's backroom team.
Yesterday, the Shanahan-managed St Mary's were beaten by Cork champions Russell Rovers in the Munster Junior Hurling Final in Fraher Field (2-13 to 0-11).

Waterford have stepped up a level under Donal O'Rourke's management, qualifying for the All-Ireland quarter-finals in 2018 and 2019, losing to eventual champions Galway by eight points this year.
They were All-Ireland Intermediate champions in 2015.
Shanahan and O'Brien helped Waterford's hurlers reach the 2017 All-Ireland final where they were narrowly beaten by Galway, before stepping down in 2018.
Dan continued to line-out with his club Lismore in this season's Senior hurling Championship, where they were beaten by Mount Sion at the Quarter-Final stage.
An interesting appointment on Suirside #RTEGAA https://t.co/vEUAf0hgbw
