BREAKING: Tipperary County Board confirm Padraic Maher's departure from senior hurling setup

It was confirmed at a meeting of the Tipperary GAA County Board tonight that Padraic Maher will not be a part of the Tipperary senior hurling setup for 2024.

The three-time All-Ireland winner joined Liam Cahill's backroom team earlier this year, after being forced into earlier retirement due to injury in 2022, but he is apparently unable to commit for the coming year due to work commitments.

There has also been a number of changes reported in the setup outside of the management team, and this is yet to be confirmed, but it will be a familiar-looking sideline next year as Mikey Bevans continues as coach while Declan Laffan and TJ Ryan also continue as selectors.

Elsewhere, there were other items on the agenda including the ratification of the management teams at minor level for 2024, with James Woodlock once again taking the hurlers into next year's fare in what will be his fourth year in the role.

There has been a change of management at minor football level though, with John McNamara stepping aside and being replaced by Shane Hennessy (Loughmore Castleiney) and Michael Donnellan (Portroe) who will be joint managers of next year's panel.
