Noel dunning seems to be clubs favorite for the job according to Ian Cooney. Is Dunning good enough and would he have the connections or name to bring in top class coaches or would he just stick with who he knows and worked with at u20s level.

He was one of the few that was nominated by clubs. Dunning had two Clare coaches involved with the U20s and local lads Frankie Dolan,David Neary also.


Asking clubs to come up with nominations has been pretty fruitless, in 2022 only Pat Flanagan was nominated and the county board then looked elsewhere for candidates. Whoever comes in the strength of management team will be just as important if not more important and I wonder what money is available to assemble one.

He had Evan Talty with him who I read was coaching Limerick footballers this year and is also after being recruited by St Brigids too.

That Talty lad was highly thought of from what I heard.

Clubs have enough to be doing with 5 football Championships started or about to start plus hurling, LGFA and camogie. Nominating candidates for Co manager would be low on their list of priorities.

I'd be concerned about finances available- a deficit last year, Club Rossie gone a.w.o.l, Hyde and CofE to be improved/developed .....

Ah Brigid's could possibly win an all Ireland this year and would be a bit of a set back for the new roscommon manager being without so many player for the start of division 1. Id do anything to see boyle get a county title and I hope O'Hara can do something this year with them but I only see pearces stopping Brigid's in roscommon and if they dont then I see Brigid's going very far. Charlie O'Carroll looks a decent player and I asked before what age is he and was he part of any roscommon underage team. I know he's bens brother but is he older or younger if anyone could let me know
