Malachy Travers is the new senior hurling manager of Ballyboden St Enda's. The former Wexford defender moves into the hotseat vacated by fellow Slaneyside native Joe Fortune, who has stepped down after three seasons at the Firhouse Road helm. Travers has a long and decorated association with Ballyboden, and his elevation should pave the way for a relatively seamless transition, as he was part of Fortune's outgoing management team. Travers came off the bench in the 2018 final, Fortune's first year in charge, to win an incredible seventh Dublin SHC medal with his adopted club. The Kildare legend led the club to Dublin and Leinster titles in 2019 and back this year to another county final, where they lost to Ballymun Kickhams.
