SENIOR TEAM UPDATE
The Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Peter Keane and Chris Flannery, who have stepped down from their roles as Senior Team Manager and Strength and Conditioning Trainer. The professionalism both Peter and Chris brought to their roles was unparalleled, and we thank them for the time and effort they put into the club. Having set a high standard, the Club is conscious of maintaining continuity, and with that in mind, Gary McGrath has stepped up from his coaching role last year to the managers seat where he will be joined by selectors Liam O Toole and Enda Walshe. Damien O Sullivan is the new S and C Coach with the backroom completed by Chris Davies, Gerard O Keeffe, and Paudie Lynch. KJ Griffin will look after the stats and analysis
