Club Managers 2024

[FullForward waster]

Adrian Farrell is the Edenderry Manager. Good appointment
Edenderry mite not be as strong next year and will probably be very young with a raft of retirements and lads travelling but Adrian Farrell will get the best out of what he will have.
Georgie Digan was always gonna take the Ferbane job at some stage obviously rated in Ferbane but haven come across him when he Offaly minor manager I wouldn’t be so sure but that’s a good few yrs ago and he has probably learned a lot in Sallins.
Ger Rafferty is a hard act to follow he was very close to winning championships.
With all the appointments it’s still very hard see beyond Tullamore Ferbane again been the 2 top dogs. From the chasing pack maybe Shamrocks look best equipped to mount a challenge

Adrian Farrell?? Manager with Offaly minors too. A lot on one mans plate. Also has a young family from what I recall. He is a local man to Edenderry too am i right in saying??

Yep the Offaly minor aswell as over Edenderry seniors it’s a lot to be doing alright . Yeh he’s an Edenderry man.

Who is retired or traveling in Edenderry ?

Think all the club managers have been sewn up now ? Cake is supposed to be taking over us last I heard.

Any additional members to background of Keelaghans set up in Rhode or any of big clubs Tullamore, Ferbane, Shamrocks, Edenderry. I heard Owen Carroll for example doing some S&C with Ferbane. Is Rochford staying with Tullamore?

[Tmacmahon]

I actually have heard zero confirmation of any senior clubs appointments. I have heard all tge hear say alright .
Only ones we all know for 100 percent are
Tullamore: mcconway
Rhode: kellaghan
Clara: Rouse

As far as I'm aware from chatting a Durrow club man the cake ship has well and truly sailed. I heard off a Tullamore fella last night that Michael Duignan is in for the job now. Very strange if this is the case and can only imagine it would be a step back for Durrow. Duignan a sound fella as far as I know but experience managing a team is low especially on the football side. He seem to have issues with teams in the past too (Portumna). My opinion would be you fellas need someone with a wealth of experience to get the best out of them players.

I did hear Rochford is staying with Tullamore, Did he really add to the set up and value of the team??? Maybe next year will tell.

[ah lethimoutwithit]

if Tullamore can keep Rochford it will be a good move for them overall, as I said last year, coaches and players can only but learn from him and it should have longer term benefits.
Lot of decent coaches working around him and bodes well for long term development of coaching overall in Tullamore.

Whats Tullamore's ceiling? They felt leinster and got trimmed. That can happen...they will probably win 4 in a row with or without Rochford ...others will learn off him yes but thst feels like a very loose positive spin on the situation.

Ferbane, not good enough to beat Tullamore unfortunately but can beat the rest, are they going to improve in 2026?
No management announced

Edenderry, the devastating second half will scare them for a long long time, one of the great collapses, always capable and always in with a shout, Adrian farrell if its true is taking them will know what he has , was with their 20s ,
No management announced

Rhode, they will come with a vengeance and a last kick mentality, always will PK lives and breathes Rhode, can they get another year out of their brilliant veterans. Possibly,

Shamrocks, decent team with nice players. Can they really break into top 4 ? Probably not.
No management announced

Ballycommon, dark horses to top group b , shane kelly has some nice players at his disposal , when rugby ends and they have everyone they are a good senior side

Durrow, if shane Curran is back they will undoubtedly improve, he will get a bounce
No management announced

Clara, Rouse in year 3 could take them deep into championship
Forwards need to be more ruthless

Bracknagh never back down , always willing, can beat anyone in that group on their day

Clonbologue, can't be as bad as last year, they will be far more competitive in section b
