Dinny Cahill

Dinny Cahill, born on 29 December 1954, is an Irish hurling manager and former player and the former manager of the Antrim senior hurling team. He enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with Kilruane MacDonagh's, as a midfielder during a hugely successful period for the club in the 1970s and 1980s, the highlight of which was an All-Ireland club medal in 1986, while his career at inter-county level with Tipperary came during an uncharacteristic famine for the county. Immediately after retiring from inter-county activity he became involved in team management, taking charge of club and inter-county teams all over the country, including Portumna in Galway, Doon in Limerick, Graigue-Ballycallan in Kilkenny and the Laois senior inter-county team, and he was appointed Antrim senior hurling manager for a second term in November 2009.
