Johnny Kelly has been confirmed as the new Offaly senior hurling manager.
Kelly succeeds Michael Fennelly, alongside whom he had worked as a coach over the past three years as Offaly won promotion from the Christy Ring Cup at the second attempt before missing out on a place in the Joe McDonagh Cup final this year.
It emerged in July that Fennelly, who appeared keen to continue in the role, would not be offered a fourth year at the helm.
