Less than a week after John Kiely indicated his intention to continue at the helm, former Tipperary player and manager John Owens has been named as the new boss of the Waterford Senior Football team.
A native of County Down, Owens, who works as Financial Controller with the Pinewood Healthcare Company in Ballymacarbry, has the distinction of capturing senior championship medals in three different counties.
Beginning his playing career with the Gary Mason Club in Down, from an early age he showed signs of coming a footballer of note and while receiving his education at Saint Colman’s College in Newry, he won Corn na nÓg and Dalton Cup medals playing under former Down manager Pete McGrath.
