In 1999 he coached the Tipp camogie team to the All Ireland and was part of the Waterford backroom team that won their first Munster title in 39 years back in 2002.
Colm was part of Ken Hogan’s management team for Tipp before taking the reins at Wexford and then moving on to coach Ballyhale to a senior club All Ireland in 2015.
The Cashel native also coached Waterford IT to six Fitzgibbon Cups and more recently he managed the Carlow hurlers for three years.
His full management team line up is set to be unveiled in the coming days.
The management committee have also appointed Brendan Cummins as manager of the under 20 hurling team where he will be joined by former Kerry senior hurling manager Fintan O’Connor as coach.
