Summary
Derek Lyng has stepped down as Kilkenny senior hurling manager after four seasons, during which he guided the Cats to three straight Leinster titles — until this year’s disappointing exit from the provincial round-robin, their worst showing since the current format began. Taking over from Brian Cody in 2022, Lyng brought decades of experience as a six-time All-Ireland winner and longtime selector, even leading underage teams to glory before stepping up. Chairman PJ Kenny hailed his integrity and unwavering loyalty, while Lyng admitted this year’s campaign fell short. The search for his successor is now underway, with names like Henry Shefflin and Brian Dowling already in the mix. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
