BELMONT have pulled off a major coup by appointing Clare folk hero Ollie Baker as their new senior hurling manager.
A brilliant midfielder during their glory spell in the 1990s, Baker managed Offaly senior hurlers a few years ago and Belmont are thrilled to secure his services for the year.
He replaces Kilcormac/Killoughey club man Trevor Fletcher – Belmont have been knocking on the door in the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship in recent years. They have developed into a hugely competitive outfit and have suffered a couple of agonising semi-final defeats – they were beaten by Kilcormac/Killoughey in this year s semi-final, though that was a quite poor display by them and K/K were more comprehensive winners than their four point margin showed.
