Galway hurling manager Micheal Donoghue steps down
Wednesday 21 August 2019 00:00, UK
Micheál Donoghue has stepped down as Galway hurling manager, after four seasons at the helm.
Donoghue led the county to their first All-Ireland title in 29 years in 2017, as they beat Waterford in the final.
Having taken up the role following the controversial departure of Anthony Cunningham after the 2015 season, he managed to help the Tribesmen over the line in his second as they brought the Liam MacCarthy Cup west of the Shannon.
2019 ended on a disappointing note, as they failed to qualify from the Leinster Championship after a final-round loss to Dublin at Parnell Park.
The vacant position will be an attractive prospect, given that the county continues to churn out underage talent, after they scooped the last three All-Ireland minor titles.
Sky Sports' live GAA coverage continues for the All-Ireland football final, as Dublin face Kerry at Croke Park.
