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:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
