‘Baker’ returns to a management role in Antrim

FORMER Antrim senior manager Liam Bradley will be back managing in the county in the 2022 season.

Bradley will take charge of the All Saints Ballymena club.

The Glenullin man steered the Saffrons to the 2009 Ulster Final.

Bradley will be joined at Slemish Park by Cookstown man Jason Quinn, who managed Derry side Moneymore for the last two seasons.

All Saints won the third of their three intermediate titles in 2011 and were beaten narrowly by Culloville in the Ulster semi-final.

They finished second in league inn 2021, behind Tír na nÓg who also beat them in the championship final. Ironically, the Randalstown men were managed by another Glenullin man, Michael O’Kane, a nephew of ‘Baker’.

Glenravel will also be contenders for the intermediate title and have installed former Derry player Joe Cassidy as manager, who managed Greenlough to intermediate glory in 2015 and 2020.
