Boos for Kildare hurling
A major boost for Kildare hurling is the ratification of Brian Dowling to continue his role as Kildare senior hurling manager for the following three years.
The Kilkenny native has managed The Lilies since 2023 and has enjoyed great success including winning the Joe McDonagh Cup, the Christy Ring Cup while also guiding the county to Division 1B of the AHL, a division they will compete in once again in 2027.
In other appointments Adrian Kinsella will manager the U20 hurlers; Niall Cronin will again manager the U20 footballers; while Tommy Konstantin will again be in charge of the Minor (u17) footballers. Kildare won both the MFC and the U20 FC in 2026.
