Shane Ahearne is the new Waterford minor hurling manager.
The Ferrybank man was appointed at Monday night’s county board meeting, replacing Gary O’Keeffe. He was in charge of the Déise under 16s this year.
Former Déise goalkeeper Brendan Landers (Lismore) will serve as coach. Selectors Flannan Cleary (Kill) and Brian Mackey (Ballygunner) will also join him on the sideline. Mark McConnell and Evan Curran will look after strength and conditioning. Patricia Walsh (Colligan) will act as team secretary, Eoin O’Neill will be on First Aid while Anthony Glavin will act as hurley carrier.
Meanwhile, Tom Feeney has stepped away as selector with the Waterford senior hurlers. The former Déise defender replaced Ballyduff Upper club mate Stephen Molumphy in Liam Cahill's set-up this season.
Stephen Gough has decided not to put his name forward for the position of Waterford under 20 hurling manager. The Roanmore man held the role for the past three seasons. Waterford lost to Tipperary after extra time in 2020 and 2021.
Hear more from Shane Ahearne and Stephen Gough on Lár Na Páirce from 6.10 this evening.
