Colm Bonnar’s reign as Tipperary senior hurling manager has come to an end with immediate effect.
The management committee of Tipperary GAA met last night to discuss the 2022 senior hurling season.
"Following a very comprehensive review the management committee have made the decision to relieve Colm Bonnar from his duties as Tipperary senior hurling manager." a statement read.
"Tipperary GAA wish to thank Colm for his contribution during his time as senior hurling manager and wish him well in to the future.
"Tipperary GAA will be making no further comment in relation to this decision."
The news comes after Tommy Dunne and Paul Curran vacated their positions with the management team yesterday.
Bonnar's tenure began with a defeat at the hands of Kerry in the Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling Cup last January.
Despite encouraging signs against Munster rivals Limerick, Tipperary endured their heaviest defeat at the hands of Cork in eighty years - their fourth defeat in a row in the Munster senior hurling championship.
Speculation will now move toward his replacement and in particular the name of Liam Cahill.
Cahill managed Waterford to the 2020 All-Ireland senior hurling final and has previously been tempted with a return to his native Tipperary.
