The Antrim county board have confirmed that former manager Dinny Cahill will be returning to take charge of the county's senior hurling team.

Cahill is back for his second spell in charge of the Glensmen having previously been at the helm from 2002 to 2005.

Confirming the news on www.antrim.gaa.ie, Cahill said: 'I believe that I now have a chance to address what feels like unfinished business.

'When I first went up to Antrim I had just finished coaching Tipperary minors and we were lucky enough to achieve All Ireland success at that time. I was relatively inexperienced then as far as senior inter-county management was concerned.

'With the right commitment from players, clubs and supporters in Antrim we can build a more consistent and successful future for the county.

'This has to be a co-ordinated effort where we improve standards, not just a senior county level but right throughout the clubs from adult down to juvenile. I am looking forward meeting with players, supporters and club and county officials,' he insisted.
