Davy Fitzgerald is the new Antrim hurling manager, something that not many people expected, but whether you love him or hate him, you will be interested to see how this goes.
The three-time All-Ireland winner has managed Waterford, Clare, and Wexford, so he brings a wealth of experience to the job, but managing the Ulster side brings a different set of challenges.
For one, the sport of hurling isn't as popular as its football counterpart in the north, although Antrim are arguably the exception to that rule in the north.
The Saffrons do not boast a rich history of trophies and success, but they famously reached the All-Ireland final in 1989, and in recent years have started showing some great potential.

I'm looking forward to the challenge," the former goalkeeper told BBC Sport NI.
"Being totally honest, there is a bit of work to be done. I can't promise we'll get there, but I'm certainly going to try everything - Do I think the potential is there? I do.
"There's no doubting the passion that all Antrim people have for the game of hurling," he said.
"I remember the colour of '89. I was playing with Clare before the All-Ireland semi-final and final. I'd love to help them get back into the top end of that. I can't promise it, all I can do is certainly try.
"I do think there'll be one or two down days before there are big days, but hopefully we won't see too many of those."
As surprised as the public are about this appointment, Fitzgerald himself admits that he did not expect to return to management so soon, but now that he has, he won't leave any stone unturned.
"I'll look at everything," he added.
"With me, skill is important, that's for sure, but there has to be more than that.
"There has to be that absolute fight, that determination, that desire to never give up on the cause.
"There's a lot of characteristics that I'll be looking for. I can't say for sure whether I'll get something different but we'll look and explore."
Although not quite as dramatic as when Mickey Harte took the Derry job, this announcement is certainly one of the most surprising and intriguing appointments in GAA circles in recent years.
The split season means that we have to wait a long time to see Fitzgerald in action as Antrim manager, but we have no doubt that it will be worth the wait.
