The O Loughlin Gaels club man informed the players of his decision in the aftermath of their narrow All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Cork on Sunday afternoon.
Dowling had been involved with the side for the last five seasons but he believes this is ‘the right time to step away’ from the position.

“Brian Dowling and his entire backroom team have informed us that they are stepping away from the Senior Camogie team,” began the Kilkenny Camogie Chairperson in a statement.
“Kilkenny Camogie would like to sincerely thank Brian and his entire backroom team for their commitment, dedication, and work, and most of all their professionalism that he has brought over the past five years.
“He is a two-time All-Ireland winning manager having won the titles with the panel in 2020 during the very trying Covid-19 period and again in 2022.
“The time that he has put into the panel has been second to none and he has always put the players welfare to the fore in his tenure. He has guided this panel of players to heights that many could (only) dream of and he will be sorely missed.
“We wish Brian the very best in his future endeavours and we thanks him wholeheartedly for what he has done for Kilkenny Camogie.”
