Antrim look set to appoint Davy Fitzgerald as the county's new senior hurling manager tonight.

He's in line to succeed Darren Gleeson, with a county board meeting due to take place this evening.

Fitzgerald left his role at Waterford boss earlier this year, while he has also had stints in charge of Wexford and his native Clare.

In Fitzgerald's first spell with the Deise, he managed to guide Waterford to their first All-Ireland appearance in 45 years and helped them to secure A Munster Senior Hurling Championship title in 2010.

Under Fitzgerald, Wexford won one knockout match in GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship in 5 years, against Westmeath in 2018.

In June 2019, Fitzgerald guided Wexford to the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship.
