Irish hurler and manager
Ray Durack is an Irish hurling manager and former player. He is originally from Portumna, County Galway.[1][2]
He formerly played for and later managed the Donegal county team, serving in that role from January 2012 until announcing his departure in May 2015.[2][3] He has also managed Burt to the Donegal Senior Hurling Championship.[2][4]
Durack led Donegal to the 2013 Nicky Rackard Cup.[5][6][7] However, due to restructure of the competitions, Donegal were not promoted to the 2014 Christy Ring Cup.[1] Durack then brought the county to Division 2B of the National Hurling League in 2014 (their highest league ranking in team history).[2][8]
His name was mentioned in media coverage during the search to succeed Ardal McDermott, his successor as Donegal manager, but Durack withdrew his name from selection.[9]
