BREAKING: Denis Kelly steps down as Tipperary camogie manager
He is leaving the job after 'fantastic' three years
Denis Kelly has resigned as manager of the Tipperary senior camogie team.
In a statement released this morning, he says "After what was a fantastic three years I have made the decision to step down as Tipperary Senior Camogie Manager. It was a huge honour to hold this position. I want to thank my wife Julie and my family for their unwavering support during this time.
"I want to thank every player who was part of our panels since 2023. The commitment and dedication the players showed for the blue and gold jersey was exemplary. I want to compliment and thank each and every one of my backroom team, who gave their utmost to support the players in their quest for glory.
"I also want to thank the County Board and its officers for all their hard work and support. We had great success as a group, we had valuable learnings along the way but most importantly, we made friendships for life on our journey!
Camògaíocht Tiobráid Árann Abú!"
The Tipperary Camogie County Board has extended its sincere gratitude to Denis for his outstanding commitment and dedication to Tipperary Camogie — first as a coach for two years, and subsequently during his three-year tenure as manager.
In a statement, the board says "Alongside his management team, Denis ensured that every player representing Tipperary was prepared to the very highest standards.
"During his time in charge, Denis brought silverware back to the county, most memorably securing the Division 1 National League title in 2024 — our first in 20 years — with a brilliant victory over Galway in Croke Park. He also guided the team to a Munster title in 2023 and to three successive All-Ireland Championship semi-finals.
"We thank Denis sincerely for his immense contribution to Tipperary Camogie and extend our very best wishes to him for the future".
