Having been in charge of the Seniors for the past two years Ken McGrath has decided to step down due to personal commitments, Nicholas Mackey was ratified as our Senior manager for 2017, Nicholas has coached many adult and juvenile teams over the years and we wish him and his selectors Jim Greene and Philly Flynn all the best for the coming year.
