Former Antrim manager Jody Gormley along with ex-Sligo and Fermanagh boss Dominic Corrigan are among the five candidates who have applied to take over the reigns in Cavan. The Breffni County board have asked SportsTracker, a Dundalk based firm headed by former GAA President Peter Quinn, to assist them with the appointment of a replacement from the recently resigned Donal Keoghan. Interested candidates could apply via the company's website and five individuals have put their names forward, the Cavan county board have confirmed. Gormley along with Corrigan as well as Meath man Sean Kelly have all signalled their interest in the job. Gormley led Antrim to success in this year's Tommy Murphy Cup and had improved the fortunes of the Saffron's prior to his decision to stand down last month. Dominic Corrigan has been out of the intercounty scene since he stood down as Sligo manager early during the 2006 NFL campaign. Prior to that he had a successful spell as Fermanagh manager, leading them to the All-Ireland quarter-final in 2003. Kelly also has his name in the hat for the Meath job but it now appears that Eamon O'Brien is the favoured candidate there. Kelly is a former underage selector with Meath and played under Sean Boylan for the county. Two local men, Castlerahan's Tony Brady and Lacken's Terry Hyland have also applied, but at this stage the odds are on an outside candidate being appointed. Clubs in the county can still nominate individuals with SportsTracker then interviewing the best qualified candidates before recommending their choice to the Cavan county board. Tweet
