Clare hurling legend Ollie Baker has joined the Westmeath coaching set-up

New Westmeath senior hurling manager Kevin O’Brien has unveiled a high-profile backroom team which includes Clare legend Ollie Baker and former Lake stalwart Brendan Murtagh.

O’Brien, a former Westmeath Under-20 manager who guided his native Clonkill to Westmeath SHC titles in 2018 and 2019, has assembled some big hitters as he bids to turn around the county’s hurling fortunes.
