PJ O’Mullan Jnr has been named as the new manager of the Antrim senior hurlers.
He succeeds Kevin Ryan, who presided over a disastrous 2015 season that saw the Saffrons relegated to Division 2A of the hurling league and drop down to the Christy Ring Cup for next year.
O’Mullan famous led Loughgiel Shamrocks to All-Ireland club glory in 2012 and also presided over four Antrim and Ulster club titles.
It’s understood that Cork native Justin McCarthy has agreed to come on board as part of his backroom team.
