Denis Kelly has stepped down as Tipperary camogie manager after three years at the helm.

Kelly guided Tipp to three successive All-Ireland semi-finals, only to come up short against Galway twice and Waterford once. The highlight of his tenure came last year when he delivered a first National League Division 1 title to the Premier County in 20 years. He also won a Munster senior title in his first year in charge, having served as coach to Bill Mullaney before that. 

"I want to thank every player who has been part of our panels since 2023. The commitment and dedication the players showed for the blue and gold jersey was exemplary,” he said in a statement.

"I want to compliment and thank each and every one of my backroom team who gave their utmost to support the players in their quest for glory. I also want to thank the County Board and its officers for all their hard work and support. We had great success as a group, we had valuable learnings along the way but most importantly, we made friendships for life on our journey."
