Coaching Career
In 1957 Maher joined the Kilkenny senior hurling team as coach. Over the next twenty-one years he would preside over an era which saw the county win fourteen Leinster titles and seven All-Ireland titles. In 1983 he immediately became involved in the local hurling scene in Mullinavat. It came as no surprise to anybody that, in 1984, Mullinavat won the Junior Championship, their first success in 45 years, and in 1985, won the Special Junior B Championship.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
