datsrite - amazing how when a team is doing well it's the players doing but when a team is not doing well it's the managers doing. He's obviously doing something right to get them to a Connaught final.

He'll have his work cut out with the Leitrim St Marys. Just never know what they're going to produce from one game to the next. Or even from one half to the next

Massive move from St marys to get Denis Johnson from Sligo. Denis is one of the most experianced coaches in Connacht having managed senior teams in 4 out of the 5 counties.
CV - 4 Sligo senior championships with E-Harps - 93,95, 98, 08
- 1 Leitrim senior championship with Allen Gaels - 02
- 1 Sigerson Cup with Sligo IT - 04
Denis is also a former Co Sligo Senior and U-21 manager. He will no doubt bring the best out of Carrick and I feel they are definately the team to beat this year.

Frank Butler is the new mary's manager with the regular back room staff and Shane butler as fitness coach.

Anyone know what any of these managers are getting in expenses. Guess the average is around 8 K for the year. Not bad in these recessionary times

fredperry (Leitrim) - Posts: 101 - 13/01/2009 10:18:49    178969

As far as I know Allen Gaels have the same man as last year - some fella originally from the North.

8K is actually relatively cheap for a manager nowadays Fred - although it is still big money, I have heard of some recent apointments in the county getting over double this!! I suppose what recession you may ask!!!

Allen Geals manager last year was eugene mcgrath. Is their something in the air around north leitrim, no managers for most clubs, its goddam anarchy i say!

Heard from a mate in Kiltubrid who the new manager is. Think your wrong bout him being a big city guy. From my memory he is a small country guy from north Roscommon (about 5 foot five) and might be related to the first US president. Can you put two & two together? Do former great players make great managers. We will see!!!!

fredperry (Leitrim) - Posts: 101 - 14/01/2009 11:40:10    180035

kiltubrid's new manager is victor costello according to sources..from the city and a big lad too.serious motivator.

dundee_gin (Leitrim) - Posts: 206 - 14/01/2009 12:59:16    180129

Granted Victor was a rugby legend. But wat would he know about the round ball. Motivate all u like, but if you have no idea wat ur doing ur ******.

fredperry (Leitrim) - Posts: 101 - 15/01/2009 12:18:21    181068

victor has a house in the parish and is down most weekends. he used to train with kiltubrid when they were intermediate.i think its a good appointment especially good for the forwards as thats where costello played in both codes

dundee_gin (Leitrim) - Posts: 206 - 15/01/2009 15:54:00    181350

Heard this rumour in Carrick today, its bold move but i suppose they're looking for that extra edge. I have also with witnesed some of the best scrums for the bar when the Kiltubrit Lads are in Havanna!!
