Birr lost to kk by 4 point's last year. That's a fact. Anyone who was at the game knows it was a lot more than a "4 point win". That is also true.

Looks like the current state of play

Shinrone - Trevor Fletcher to remain for a 3rd year. (Ironically, he was by all accounts, very close to the exit door mid season)

Kilcormac / Killoughey - Shane Hand to remain for year 2.

Belmont - Arien Delaney to remain for year 2.

Birr - Gary Cahill takes over after 2 years of Brendan Bugler

Ballinamere - TBC

St Rynagh’s - TBC but Colin Lynch has been strongly rumoured although he has taken a coaching role with Clarecastle. Will he double job?

Coolderry - New manager TBC Brian Cuthbert is seemingly moving on after 2 years. A huge drop off from Year 1 to Year 2.

Kinnitty - Damien Fox has replaced Denis Kelly who has moved on after 3 years to manage the Tipperary senior camogie team. Fox managed Clodiagh Gaels in 2022, a year in which they were relegated back to Senior B.

Seir Kieran - Barry Whelehan to embark on year 2. A team to watch I think. Should see improvements this year as age profile is young.

Tullamore - Would presume the management team who won the Senior B with them will remain in place.

interesting to see how Birr progress under Gary Cahill, struggled early on last season and went out with a fight in semi final after not turning up for first half of that game..looks a bit like like "steady as she goes" there approach..Colin Lynch to Rynaghs a strange one, one of two ways that will go as the saying goes, the others are interesting in their own right, how will Seir Kieran go one wonders...

Colin lynch is not with rynaghs. That's what I've been told, they are still looking. Coolderry are in talks with a fairly good guy from ouside the county. Should be an interesting appointment if it happens. Bit of turmoil in kk, this weekend will tell a lot.

James was over upperchurch last year. Tipperary man. Think he was involved with offaly 21s a few years back as manager.
