New challenges for former Tipperary stars

 

 

Former Tipp star Brendan Cummins has taken over as goalkeeping coach with the Kerry hurlers.

He has been brought in by new manager Eamon Kelly of Kiladangan.

38 year old Cummins retired from inter-county hurling last year after a career which brought him All Ireland, Munster and All Star honours.

Meanwhile Mullinahone's John Leahy has been appointed as the new manager of the Tipperary Ladies Intermediate football team team for the 2014 season.

The former intercounty hurling and football star was appointed last evening and will be joined by Assistant Manager Martin Halpin from Cahir. 

Leahy has previously been involved with his club, Mullinahone at Minor and U21 level and served as selector to the Tipperary Senior Hurlers in the mid 2000's.

He is currently working with the HSE as a drug education officer and studying in the University of Limerick as a fitness instructor. 

Tipp were beaten in last years All Ireland Intermediate Ladies Final, going down by just 2 points to Cavan.
