Former All-Ireland winning Kilkenny star confirmed as new Kildare hurling manager

Former All-Ireland winning Kilkenny goalkeeper David Herity has been confirmed as the new Kildare hurling manager.

Herity will be succeeding Limerick native Joe Quaid in the role after he departed following three years with the Lilywhites, the last of which ended with Kildare winning the Christy Ring Cup.

Herity left his role as the manager of the Dublin camogie team last month, and last week KildareNow broke the news that the Dunnamaggin clubman was posed to be named as the Kildare manager after impressing the interview panel set up to decide on a successor for Quaid.

Herity won five All-Ireland titles with Kilkenny in his playing career and managed the Dublin camogs for two seasons upon his retirement from playing.

His first task will be to try and secure promotion from Division 2B of the National Hurling League after Kildare were relegated from 2A in 2018.
