The Kildare p***k?
Niall Carew that's a lot of lotto tickets 😂😂😂
Did he have palatine of carlow last year. Ex sligo manager?
Paul Julian was ratified for a third term in Ballylinan last week, I was talking to him at an U21 practice game last Sunday.
Suprised Niall would go to Balylinan that quick- he was in for Celbridge I believe and they only appointed Paul Curran or leaked Curran last night. Niall will end up in Clane or somewhere like that Id say if the Ballylinan isnt a fact

I'd say Niall would go to Termefeckin for a few Bob
Niall is going to spread his wings manage two clubs at the same time nice work if you can get it.
Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media
No fake news. Carew is the new Ballylinan manager as I said previous. Wait until the first league game and see who's on their sideline if I'm not to be believed.
No I think Carew is 100% heard it from two diffferent people and he is bringing a coach with him. But I am also nearly sure Ballylinan is not the only club he is managing this year.
I heard he was in advanced talks with another Laois club near the Kildare border , they wont be happy I'd say.
See Eddie Kelly back with O'Dempseys according to Laois Today.
Carew prob doing Ballylinan and Palatine the Hungry C
Maurice Brown staying with Killeshin.
Martin Murphy who guided stradbally to a couple of county titles taking over in Port . Very interesting appointment
Palatine got rid of Carew at the weekend
Well at least he won't be managing two clubs.
Rumour has it he tried to squeeze a 3rd club in up in Meath and thats why Palatine got rid
I genuinely thought their own lads were doing ok, League was killed by having so many in with Laois. Gave O Dempseys too much of a start, small margins and they could have been in a second county final. If you asked me a couple of years ago I was all for paid managers now I would be against it. Of course there are situations where one is needed but clubs should think long and hard about them.

Could be worse. According to the Kildare forum, Ballykelly, junior in Kildare, had a guy in and had already started s&c work for next only for your man to feck off to a club in Wicklow.

Rumours as right . Carew was never got rId of ! He left by his own accord and seemingly on good terms with Palatine.
Anyone else confirmed for 2019? Any of the junior or intermediate teams get anyone decent?
Here's what I know so far. Didn't put in second teams as you'd never really know what's happening there. Anyone fill in the gaps?

Gordon McDonnell & Denis Lalor is mentioned in Leinster club notes.
Killeen will have a change anyway. Their manager last year Gay Campbell is the Kildare under 20 manager this year.
Hugh part 3 for Kileen
yep
Any hurling managers confirmed/rumoured?
I heard John Taylor was back in talks with the Harps, although they are keen on Deegan to stay another year. I wonder will Danny Owens return to Camross? Given all the negative publicity etc. By all accounts it was Mattie Collier who trained them to the SHC it seems.They might move to give him the Bainisteoir bib and save a few pound while they're at it.
Believe Mountmellick are staying with Alan George.
Ballyfin will be managed by Killian Fitzpatrick. Emo staying with Paul Lawlor player manager. O'D's Eddie Kelly. Portlaoise haven't a replacement in for McNulty as yet.
Padraig Clancy - Timahoe
