Laois GAA Announce Senior Hurling Backroom Team

Tuesday, 2 February 2021 07:19

There's plenty of big name experience in the ticket.

Laois Senior Hurling boss Cheddar Plunkett has finalised his backroom team.

It includes ex Limerick coach Donagh O'Donnell, ex Galway and St. Rynagh's coach Franny Forde and former Laois football manager John Sugrue.

Two time Olympian David Matthews will work on the strength and conditioning side along with Leo Tiernan who is in his second stint with a Laois outfit having previously worked under Tomas Ó Flatharta seven years ago.

The Laois Gaa Senior Hurling Management Team for 2021 has been confirmed. Laois Gaa sends its best wishes to the team and management for the 2021 season.

Other additions to the management team will be made when the current lockdown period recedes. #laoisgaa pic.twitter.com/hZJ8wk0QfC

No selectors have been announced however.

Our Laois GAA Commentator Jack Nolan is impressed with the coaching ticket:

Meanwhile, the GAA has said it would be irresponsible for counties to return to collective training at this time, but the Association hasn't ruled out the National Leagues starting in March.

The organisation's COVID 19 advisory group will reconvene in a fortnight.
