Clane GAA are inviting expressions of interest for the position of Senior Hurling Manager for the 2027 season.
This is an exciting opportunity to take charge of an ambitious senior hurling group at a club where the game is enjoying real momentum and success.
After two highly successful years, manager Willy Banks and coach Mike Flynn have stepped aside. We sincerely thank them for the commitment, energy and success they brought to Clane hurling. They leave the senior setup in an exceptionally strong position, having achieved:
- Senior B Championship winners and promotion to Senior A, 2025
- Leinster Junior Club Championship finalists, 2025
- Division 2 League champions and promotion to Division 1, 2026
Our second team also won Division 3 in 2026, meaning that in 2027 Clane's two adult teams will compete in Divisions 1 and 2 of the Senior Hurling League.
Just as importantly, there is an exciting pipeline of young talent coming through. Our Minor Hurlers recently won the Kildare Minor A Hurling Championship, defeating Naas in a thrilling final and ending a 27-year wait for the title. Our U16s also reached their Championship final, narrowly losing to Naas.
We are now looking for an ambitious, progressive manager who can build on these foundations and help take Clane hurling to the next level.
The successful candidate will inherit a young and talented senior group, an established core of players, a strong second team and an exciting generation of underage players ready to progress into adult hurling.
For the right person, this is a genuine opportunity to lead a club with momentum, ambition and the potential to compete for major honours in Kildare and beyond.
