Mc keown gone from Ballinamere will be a boost to the big ball he’s was hard on the footballers in durrow during both stints

Yeah and with Tommy Carr taking the Durrow senior football team it will be tough on the hurlers

Seamus Mc Keogh Durrow was The Ballinamere manager last season, had a good season but is not staying at home.

Rynaghs had Kevin O'Brien who managed his own club clonkill to 3 in a row senior championship and also part of the Offaly set up last season.

Has Seamus moved out?

Any truth in rumours that Rynaghs manager left because he wanted his own men in... Last year's manager OBrien

Mc Keogh gone after one season and what he put the dual players through if what I heard from a local source there is crazy training before football games playing challenge games the week of games ridiculous. Looking for lads not to play football no clue and old school

Don't think they were training before games in fairness. Some senior hurlers who wouldn't be playing football may have trained. It's very tough when players want to be fair to both codes. I think the one manager to do both could be looked at.. An Anthony Cunningham type manager

Did a session Fri evening dual players didn't take full part. It's easy to pick holes when things don't go to plan. Poor against Birr in hurling 1/4 no doubt about that
