Kinnitty - Mick Bergin
Shinrone - ??. Trevor Fletcher has left
Seir Kieran -?? Barry Whelahan has left
St Rynaghs - ?? Liam Dunphy has left

I thought Rynaghs have appointed Jeffrey lynskey from Galway some must say a shock appointment as he'd be top class and people think Rynaghs are a team that have lots of lads the wrong side of 30 but saying that prob still second best in the county.

Shinrone got a limerick man I think it's an O Brien.

Think it’s Paul Keane from Adare over Shinrone.
Managed O’Callaghan Mills last year.
Likes to train most nights a week by all accounts.
You’d wonder is that for the players’ benefit or his.

Shane Curley from Four Roads doing the training with Belmont.
Think Gary Flannery from Shannonbridge who is now involved with the Offaly underage system is also involved/overseeing youth in Ferbane/Belmont/Shannonbridge.

A lot of clubs decimated by immigration this year.

Belmont, Shinrone and Birr seemed to have suffered significantly.

[frankthetank]

Paul Keane seems to be your stereotypical current hurling manager who enjoys the managerial circuit.

I’m sure it’s all for the love of the game.

His Shinrone appointment will see him manage a club in 4 different counties since 2017. (At least)

Adare (Limerick)
Burgess (Tipperary)
O’Callaghan Mills (Clare)
Shinrone (Offaly)

Lot of love for the game right there.

The word on street is that yet another Shamrocks senior football manager has left their role. Shamrocks man told me today they are going for a record of 7 different managers in 7 years and said 'there is never a dull moment over there - like a Christmas bumper edition of Eastenders at this stage.'

Bit of a mad one Kk deciding not to go with Shane Hand for another year. Anyone know what went on

They must have someone wicked good lined up if they were keen to push him out

[Drumcullen man]

There was a players meeting after the under 20 game today. Word is ken hogan is in the frame

[private joker]

The appointment of Tony glesson kept shane Hand in the job.

[faithfulfanatic]

Paul Murphy (Birr) to Belmont
Enda Mulhare to Seir Kieran
Bonnar Maher to Carrig/Riverstown

I think Shinrone have gone with an internal management but I can’t remember who’s involved.

[private joker]

Are these genuine appointments? Bonner hardly manager? Still hurling with his club. Must be in as coach.

[jimbob17]

Surely Trevor Fletcher is next man up for KK. Won with Shinrone and won Kilkenny intermediate with Lisdowney this year. To win two in a row, make Leinster final and not keep your job is a big statement by KK players.

[faithfulfanatic]

My understanding is that Bonner was due to join Birr as some form of coach/S&C, so he must have got a bigger role off Carrig/Riverstown to switch.

Trevor Fletcher is off to Galway to manage the reigning all ireland champions.
