Paul Kelly, former Player, has taken the Castledaly job. Have Moate, Rosemount or Tang appointed anyone?

Or they've got clever to the same names doing the rounds every year with very little to show in return.

Not sure if Milltownpass have a manager yet - Havent heard. Louis Ennis Gone from them. Has he been picked up by anyone?
Rochfortbridge sticking with the same although not sure if Peter Tormey staying in the setup.
Malachys?
Tang?
I preume Milltown Rathconrarh as is seeing as they did well last year. Think that manager is a McNamee from Rhode?

David Martin gone to Miltownpass seemingly. Rosemount gone with an in-house manager also, not sure of his name, Collins I think. A lot of clubs going this way.

Louis Ennis would be good , he got a bad Milltownpass yeam to a final . I heard Enda Sheridan has the Milltownpass job. Kenny McKinley staying in Malachys. Peter Tormey staying with Rochfortbridge. Haven't heard anything about Tang. Anyone hear who is in Rosemount

Have heard that John Twaddle who was with Moate is with a club in Longford now.

Replying To Edman78:  "I'm not suprised, he was one of the best half backs in the championship this year. We were hoping he'd be in with Westmeath with the parent rule and he's and working living up here but it's not to be. It would have been a hard move for him. I wish him well, enjoy watching him play. Exciting fixture for Lomans players and supporters when Longford face Westmeath in the National league."
This would not have been a hard move for him at all. Lomans is his 3rd club so switching county would have little bother to him.
Club should matter a lot more than a county transfer for the majority.

What club did you hear Honda? Was it a senior club? I was told senior but I'm not sure if he would take over that team just yet with where they are player/talent wise.

That's a fair statement, and I don't know the reasons for his change in club teams but I'm presuming location and work is the big thing for most . I'm always of the opinion that transfers are fine if it's within your new located community. GAA is all about community, opportunity and integration. Every club team in Ireland has a transfer of some sort. You'd find it hard to name even one. I don't agree with players transferring for money or for status etc. but it's usually the big Profile or most talented players that take the brunt of it for genuine club moves.

Spinx i think i heard the same as yourself based on your wording.
In my opinion its a good job to take. The minors that they have coming through are brilliant footballers and there should be a constant wave of them for a few years.

The Downs - Lar Wall
Lomans - Dowdall
Moate - McNeill
Athlone - Jordan
Caurly - Curran
Tang - ?
Garrycastle - ?
Kinnegad - Keeleghan/Cooney
Killcuan - Morley
Shamrocks - ?
T - Pass - Sheridan
Shandonagh - Hickey

Can anyone correct me if I am wrong about the senior clubs managers for 2023?

Also, fill in the gaps for Garrycastle, Tang and Shamrocks.

Doubt Shamrocks will be changing. I imagine Monaghan will be there for a few years.

Edman it is a fair statement to make but its true! Foy moved from his home club, an intermediate team at the time to Slashers, a team about to win a few senior championships 15 mins up the road! as much as i admire Foy he wound not have a problem transferring counties as Westmeath at the moment are miles ahead of Longford in the inter county set up! I dont know him personally so maybe there are genuine reasons for the transfers!

Exactly Garmin, you don't know him. So don't be commenting on things you don't know about!!
