Antrim have reappointed their four-man senior hurling management team of Dominic McKinley, Terence McNaughton, Gary O'Kane and Neal Peden.

The quartet took over in a temporary capacity at the end of March after PJ O'Mullan stepped down. Thye led Antrim to the Christy Ring Cup final, which they lost to Meath after a replay.

However, McNaughton and McKinley both subsequently ruled out the possibility of staying on for the 2017 season so it was a big surprise last night when the four names were put forward to the clubs for ratification.

Chairman Collie Donnelly says the four will serve as a selection panel, with none of them acting as a designated manager.

Meanwhile, Antrim's football management team of Frank Fitzsimons and Gearoid Adams has also been reappointed for a second season.
