Dunderry First Team GAA Management for 2019.

All is changed utterly.
Football Manager is David Callaghan,Mickey's son and his Selectors are Con O Neill and  Padraic Travers.
David played up to minor level in football with St.Ultans and thereafter with Dunderry.He was on the 2005 team that went back from Senior to Intermediate and of which I was Manager unfortunately.He follows in the footsteps of Barry Callaghan , Kevin Dowd ,and Stephen O  Rourke,who played with that team,Tommy Dowd and Con O Neill who have had their hands on the tiller since and a variety of selectors who have tried and failed to win the Laurels.
David was a selector with Kells for a year and they are now Senior.
He played in the USA in his day and maybe in England,I  am not sure.
Con has since stepping down from adult football been involved with the juveniles and they are making good progress.
Padraic is a Bohermeen man but has the saving grace of being married to a good Dunderry woman Stephanie Coogan.
We wish them well.
The Juvenile Club have at last got their act together and are turning out fairly decent players at minor level.
It will be interesting to  see how these guys gel these minors into the Intermediate set up.
We wish all the best in the year to come and thank those who gave their time selflessly in the year gone.viz Kevin Dowd,Evan Stephens,Lee Mulliganand Phil Day.

Hurling Manager is Timber Leavy and his selectors are Kevin Heffernan,Derek Hickey and Damian Martin.Timber has been up  to his oxters in Juvenile Hurling this last decade as have Derek and Kevin.
I played with Timber many moons ago and acted as a selector when he was still a player.
He was a nifty wing forward and fairly useful.Derek too gave it diddy as long as he played.I  didn't see Kevin in action but being from Limericj k cannot hurt.
Damian is an All Holding Goalkeeper from Offally and there is no higher honour.
Timber and Co.have done the trench work at juvenile level and are ideally placed to ressurect the Club's honour at adult lever.
We wish them the best and thank Mark  Nolan and Co.for the magnificient work done in recent years.

I have no idea how many adult teams we have and who is over them.
As soon as I  find out I  will let ye know.
