Kevin O'Brien takes reins as Westmeath hurling manager
Westmeath have former Under-20 manager Kevin O'Brien as their new senior hurling manager, replacing Seoirse Bulfin, who departed after one season in charge.
O'Brien, who sought the senior role at the end of last year, previously guided his native Clonkill to Westmeath SHC titles in 2018 and 2019.
He takes charge in the wake of a difficult campaign which saw Westmeath relegated to Division 2 of the Allianz Hurling League, though they did manage to retain their Joe McDonagh Cup status after wins over Down and Kerry.
Bulfin, who was part of Clare's 2013 All-Ireland winning backroom team, stepped down from the role in June.
