Declan Kelly Recommended As New Offaly Senior Football Boss
The Management Committee of Offaly GAA is pleased to recommend Declan Kelly as manager of the Offaly Senior Football team.
A member of Kilclonfert GAA Club, Declan managed Offaly to Leinster and All-Ireland Under 20 Football Championship success in 2021. He also has an excellent track record as a club manager and most recently guided St Loman’s, Mullingar to back-to-back Westmeath Senior Football titles in 2020 and 2021.
Declan’s coaching personnel will include Vinny Mooney – a former Shannonbridge and Offaly footballer who was a coach/ selector with the Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Club winning side this year – and Ciaran Kilmurray from St Loman’s, Mullingar. The full management set-up will be finalised in the near future.
Declan was proposed to the Management Committee of Offaly GAA at a meeting on the afternoon of 17th August and the decision will be brought to the next Offaly County Board meeting for ratification.
