Dublin ladies manager Gregory McGonigle has stepped down from his post after three years at the helm.

The Derry native guided Dublin to three All-Ireland senior championship final appearances in each of his three seasons in charge, but ultimately lost out on each occasion to all-conquering Cork.

The Dubs also reached a National League final during the first year of his tenure.

A statement issued on behalf of McGonigle reads: "I would like to inform you that I have taken the decision not to opt for a fourth term as Dublin Ladies manager.

"I have really enjoyed my three years with Dublin but now feel the time is right for a new voice to help this group of players achieve their ultimate goal of winning an All-Ireland title. The time is also right for me personally to take a much needed break from management having been involved at senior level for the past six years and to reflect, recharge and refocus.

"I wish to thank Dublin county board for the opportunity to manage the Dublin senior team and for their continued support, loyalty, trust and friendship over this past three years.  Dublin LGFA is fully committed to supporting Dublin teams across all levels in striving for top honours and I wish them continued success."
