Cleere takes over from the highly successful Brian Dowling, an iconic figure in Kilkenny camogie history. Dowling, having secured All-Ireland glory for Kilkenny, embarks on a new challenge as the Kildare hurling manager.
Brian Dowling's departure, though significant, is met with anticipation for the unique contributions Cleere will bring.
