Philips Ireland today named Michael Ryan, Manager of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Team, as the winner of the Manager of the Month for September.

On the 4^th September the Tipperary side ‘comprehensively’ defeated Kilkenny by 2-20 to 2-29 to claim the Liam McCarthy Cup in Croke Park. It is their first title since 2010 and their 27^th in all.

It was a sweet victory, at his first attempt, for Michael Ryan who only took the helm this season. Ryan has previously been a selector for the county before being appointed assistant manager under Eamon O’Shea.
