Ger Cunningham reveals his backroom team

New Dublin hurling manager Ger Cunningham has announced his  backroom team as they begin plans for 2015.

Cunningham's selectors will be Shay Boland, Gearoid O Riain and Tommy Dunne.

Shay managed this year's Dublin U21 hurlers as well as the minor teams of 2011 and 2012 - reaching All-Ireland MHC finals in both seasons.

Tommy was Tipperary's 2001 All-Ireland winning captain and was also involved during Anthony Daly's tenure.

Tommy was involved with the Tipperary minor and U21 winning teams of 2007 and 2010.

Gearoid managed the Kilmacud Crokes team that won the Dublin SHC title in 2012.

Cunningham’s backroom team also includes strength and conditioning coach Ken Robinson, who has been part of the Ballymun Kickhams senior football backroom team in recent years and performance manager Caroline Currid, who was part of Pat Gilroy's set-up in 2011.

“Dublin are a seriously competitive team at the moment, they’re in the top six teams. They’ve been Leinster winners, National League winners, All-Ireland semi-finalists over the last number of years," says Ger Cunningham.
“I see it as a great challenge and a great opportunity and I’m really looking forward to working with the team I’ve put together, I’m delighted with the backroom team and I think the lads accept they’re putting their reputations on the line as well."
