Former Roscommon and Dublin football boss Tommy Carr is the new team-manager of the Cavan senior team. It was understood that Carr would be announced at the Cavan County Board's monthly meeting on Monday night next but, instead, the board issued a statement last night (Friday). The statement, after a specially convened management meeting of the board, confirmed Carr's three-year appointment: "At a specially convened management meeting of Cavan County Board held tonight (Friday), the name of Tommy Carr was put forward as the new Cavan senior team-manager for 2008. "He will be appointed for a three-year term. He will be presented to county board delegates at a meeting in the Hotel Kilmore on Monday night. His backroom team will be appointed in due course." Eight candidates had been interviewed for the position and the number was whittled down to three. Carr succeeds Donal Keogan in the hot seat following the latter's resignation after Cavan lost out to Kildare in this year's All-Ireland qualifiers. Tweet
