Tipp County Board meeting to confirm O’Shea as hurling manager for 2015.

Eamon O’Shea will be ratified as Tipperary Senior Hurling manager for 2015 at tonight's County Board meeting.

There will be one addition to the management team, while a recommendation for O’Shea's successor for 2016 will also be put to the board.

 Assistant manager Michael Ryan and selector Paudie O’Neill will keep their places on the management team for 2015.

Former All-Star Declan Fanning of Killenaule will join the Tipp set up as a selector. Ratification for Fanning will also be sought tonight.

A recommendation that Michael Ryan will succeed Eamon O’Shea at the end of the 2015 season will be put forward at tonight's board meeting, with the view to continuing the development of the team when O Shea leaves after the coming campaign.

Ryan, from Upperchurch-Drombane, has been part of the management team since O'Shea was appointed in September 2012.
