Poacher added to Roscommon backroom team

New Roscommon recruit Steven Poacher.

Roscommon boss Anthony Cunningham has recruited highly-rated coach Steven Poacher to his backroom team.

The Newry native worked with the Carlow senior footballers between 2017 and 2019 and oversaw an upturn in the Leinster team's fortunes, winning three games in a single championship season for the first time in 73 years. The Barrowsiders also secured a long-awaited promotion from the Allianz League Division 4 during Poacher's time involved.

"I am delighted to welcome Steven on board and we look forward to working with him to strengthen our team in 2021." Cunningham told Roscommon GAA.

Meanwhile, Gary Flannery has been brought on board as Performance GDA.
