Meath's gain is Dunderry's loss

Having long predicted that Barry Callaghan would some day manage the Senior Meath football team ,that process g has become a step closer with him being nominated to become a selector with Stephen Bray under Colm O Rourke as the new manager ,Andy Mc Entee having retired.Barry was recently appointed Manager of Dunderry Football Team ,with his brother Keith and Stephen O Rourke as his selectors.He volunteered for the l position and was unpaid,a long tradfitiomn in Dunderry,just recently violated. I don't know who will replace him,O Rourke being favourite. Just last week,Tommy Dowd ,CAptain and Barry ,with O rourke being a sub were honoired in Croker as part of the 1996 winning football team.isaw a number of football matches this year involving Dunderry.We are motoring o.k.We beat a narky Senchaelstown handy enough and were well beaten in another while short 8 players. We were moving better than last year ,which was a disaster. Barry and Stephen both had the reins as manager of our Intermediate teams since we went down in 2005 ,in which championship they both played ,but ultimately failed. Here is hoping that they have better luck this year. Tony Brennan AND Tommy Dowd both had spells with Meath teams in the past,Brennan having more success under Sean Boylan.And Niall Rennicks ,another former Dunderry player hads spells with Wicklow and I think Carlow. It is amazing that such a small club has contributed so much to the County.And yas I am claiming Stephen Bray for Dunderry,his father and grand father having played here. On the Hurling front Kevin Dowd and Tom Ryan were also honoured as Managers of Meath.
