I'd be surprised in McConville sticks around in Seneschalstown.
O'Mahonys are in the market for a new manager.
Dunboyne are on the hunt for someone, they've it advertised on social media.
Ciaran Kenny is gone to St. Kevin's in Louth.

Heard John O' Brien (Ex Curraha manager) is going to Bective. Not sure how true it is though. Silly move by the club if it is true.

Just interested why you would think it would be a silly move?.from my recollection he was successful with curraha and went on to manage ballyboden in dublin who were reigning all ireland club winners. Only one year with them tho after an early exit from c/ship. at the time I'm fairly sure senior teams in meath were after him . I would imagine there still are clubs who would jump at the chance to get him but then again maybe i'm missing something

He was successful with Curraha, no question.
In fact he only spent half a season with Boden before been sacked. They're 1 of the biggest clubs in the country if not the biggest with 1900 kids under 18. The last thing the Boden committee wanted their underage section to witness was their Senior manager call referees every name under the sun (which I witnessed once before.) I'm pretty sure that was only the tip of the ice berg though.
So like I said I believe it is a silly move by that club to recruit him.

incorrect.. he spent a year with Boden and left it just didnt work out.. As for the shouting at the ref 'once' hardly an excuse to get rid of a manager.. He managed Tyrellspass last year and is over Bernard Brogans club now in dublin, never enjoyed looking at the way he played with Curraha but he did well and clubs seemed to be still interested in him

He was actually first choice for Tones in 2016 before letting them down at the last minute and opting for Ballyboden, bad form as he left them high and dry.

He was speaking with Dunboyne around the time too, he obviously does something right with the amount of clubs looking for him or maybe he was just lucky

Not true. He stated his interested in being interviewed for the Job but since then has accepted the Bray job.

So he took the bray job over Dunboyne doesn't sound great that a fella of his calibre would rather take a job in Wicklow over Dunboyne..

Not really . He was offered the Bray job as opposed to the chance to interview along with several other candidates so no guarantee he would get it . Id imagine there's a financial incentive there in Bray as well where as there won't be in Dunboyne. Not that surprising he an actual job over an interview.

I fairness Gers views were very strong during the referendum and I'm not sure that would sit well with alot of players.
