INTER-CLUB MANAGER SELECTIONS
Just a quick note to our members with regards to Inter-club manager selections, I wish to be open and transparent with my appointments.
Firstly we have 13 competitions this year and did not get a full response to my advertisements for managers, however I did get some and I gave these priority.
They were as follows:
Rob Falconer (Barton Cup and Jimmy Bruen) same panel of players;
Colin McInerney (Junior Cup) knows the players in his panel;
John McCarthy Jnr (Irish Mix) an experienced Interclub player;
Joe Griffin (Metro Cup) an active and experienced member;
Paddy McMahon and Bob Ockenden - both together in Leinster Fourball and Best Cup as these are two experienced and active members that I put both together as these are high commitment competitions.
These were the only people to apply for managerial positions. After the people mentioned above, I had to ask others to manage. Most were unable but I was able to talk around John Curran (J. B. Carr) a very experienced and active member. Ciaran Blaney (Jimmy Carroll) a willing and active member, Gary Byrne (Lisheen Cup) winner of two Lisheen Cups as manager and Derek Fitzpatrick (Pierce Purcell) a willing and active member.
Even after these I was left two short and this is where myself (Duggan Cup) and Tony Carton (Old Conna) came in.
I hope this explains where my appointments have come from. It was also difficult to appoint managers as members did not wish to manage a team they could play for.
I wish to thank all the managers for their time and commitment for the season ahead and hope they get all the support of our club and members.
