Breaking Kieran Kingston steps down as Cork hurling manager

Kieran Kingston has stepped down as Cork hurling manager.

Kingston took charge of the Rebels in 2020, having previously served as a selector and coach, and guided them to an All-Ireland final appearance last year, where they were beaten by Limerick.

His three-year term came to an end when Galway defeated Cork in last month's All-Ireland quarter-finals and he informed the county board he would not be seeking another term in charge.

Cork GAA chairman Marc Sheehan said: "Kieran’s commitment to his duties as Cork senior hurling manager knew no bounds and the time devoted in a voluntary capacity was immeasurable.

"He carried the role in a dignified manner at all times, fully understanding of the importance of his position.

"We wish him well in his future endeavours and have no doubt that he will continue to make a significant contribution to Cork Hurling long into the future."
