Press release issuing shortly apparently, but it's Martin Russell (in a major shock), with Maccer assisting. Paul Somers has left the club, and there'll be a new coach coming in.

Also confirmed that Podge is playing GAA solely this year. Ended one goal short of the top ten goalscorers. It also means the last trace of Doolin has now left. :)

No, Diarmuid McNally. Works football for the club- basically runs the thing. As a coach he was in charge of the top LSL team (I think) and assistant manager of the A Team and U20s.

I thought he wasn't very good when Doolin signed him, and said as much before he won me over with a fine work ethic. I've never sunk to calling him a "trace of Doolin". That's just harsh. Really, I think you should apologise to him.

Not yet. But sure he knows the players from training, and we never have any friendlies lined up at this stage. There's still six weeks to the new season. I'd say the first one will be in a couple of weeks though. Usually fit in three or four.
