BRENDAN CUMMINS HAS stepped down as manager of the Tipperary U20 hurlers.
The five-time All-Star goalkeeper had been in the role for the past five seasons. In that time, the Premier contested four Munster finals, winning two, and two All-Ireland finals, winning one in 2025.
They were denied a provincial three-in-a-row on penalties against eventual All-Ireland champions Clare in May.
Cummins has since been linked with the Waterford senior job. His right-hand man, Fintan O’Connor, previously coached the Déise under Derek McGrath.

Tipp have another strong U20 team coming in 2027, based upon the 2024 All-Ireland minor titleholders, who were managed by James Woodlock.
With two minor All-Irelands and a third Munster title pocketed this year, the Drom & Inch clubman would be the natural front-runner to step up to the 20s gig.
