[AZOffaly]

Pat Flanagan confirmed in Offaly.

[Croí na hÉireann]

Donegal not confirmed yet. At least they look like they will appoint someone, we can go back collective training in 2 weeks, we'll be blessed to have a man with a plan by then though.

As far as I'm aware all the following are teachers (or retired teachers) which is a hell of a lot as there are a serious number I don't have the first clue what they do as the day-job so odds are good there could well be a fair few more.

Brian Cuthbert
Brian McIver
Eamonn Fitzmaurice

Pete McGrath

[AZOffaly]

Peter Creedon is still manager in Tipp.

David Power is the new manager in Wexford.

[twohands!!!]

Shane Ward appointed as Senior, Junior and U21 manager in Laythrum.
I've heard of double jobbin but that's squeezin the last drop out of him.

There seems to be a bit of the double jobbin going on all right. In the smaller counties especially you can see why the county board would like the idea.

[AZOffaly]

I don't think it's a small county thing to be honest, I think it's a case of trying to get the young lads exposed to the senior training, and these days a lot of U21s are on senior panels too, so it's probably easier logistically to be managed by the same lad.

Having said that, David Power was over the U21s in Tipp last year, and Creedon was Senior manager so that was different.
