Willie Maher has been confirmed as the new Laois senior hurling manager.
The Tipperary native’s appointment concludes a lengthy process to find Séamas ‘Cheddar’ Plunkett’s successor, with his fellow countyman Ryan O’Dwyer appearing to have been in pole position for the role at one stage.
“Laois GAA are delighted to announce that Willie Maher's name was submitted to the Laois GAA Executive by the hurling selection committee tonight for the position of senior hurling manager and was ratified accordingly,” read a statement from the county board.
