Dowds was in 2023 but wasn’t successful when she applied for the position going into the following season.

She brings a wealth of experience to the position and Antrim will be begin next season in Division 1A after their promotion last season.

The Saffrons won the league and Ulster titles before losing to Offaly in the All-Ireland series.

Derry are currently on the look-out for a new senior camogie manager after Eamonn Melaugh stepped down from his position earlier in the week after one season.
