Former Navan O'Mahony's manager Sean Kelly has been appointed as the Meath senior football team's new trainer in succession to Colm Brady. Former All-Ireland winner Brady has been forced to step down because of work commitments after just one year in the role. The Simonstown Gaels clubman, who runs a successful business in Mullingar, was widely praised for his role in helping the Royals to a shock All-Ireland semi-final appearance this year. Kelly, who is also an ex-county player, guided Navan O'Mahony's to the Meath SFC title last year and was a candidate himself to replace Colm Coyle as manager last year. He will now act as trainer for Eamonn O'Brien in 2010.
