Cillian Farrell

Cillian Farrell, born in 1977, is an Irish hurling manager and former dual player and the former manager of the Meath senior hurling team. A dual player at the highest levels, he had a successful playing career at club level with Edenderry and at inter-county level with Offaly, and was a fringe member of the Offaly hurling team during the golden age of the 1990s, collecting an All-Ireland title as a substitute in 1998. Shortly after his inter-county retirement he moved into team management, taking charge of the Na Fianna hurling team in Meath for three years and restoring some pride to a perennial relegation candidate. He was appointed manager of the Meath senior hurling team in October 2010, stepped down on 2 June 2013 after a defeat by Down, and later returned to the position that year.
