SARSFIELDS have appointed John Crowley as manager of the club’s premier senior hurling team.

Crowley, who succeeds Barry Myers, guided the Riverstown club to the 2010 county SHC – the second of four titles in seven years for Sars. Prior to that, he had taken the Sars U14 side to the All-Ireland Féile final in 1997 as well as being on the line for county minor and U21 victories.

In 2012, he took Ballinhassig to the premier IHC title while he has also been involved with Ballymartle and Castlelyons in recent times.

Sars failed to emerge from the group stages this year, albeit a tough challenge given they were in with champions-in-waiting St Finbarr's and eventual runners-up Blackrock.

The Riverstown club are considering leading contenders every season with their strong playing base but haven't made the final since 2015 when they lost to Glen Rovers.
