Fermanagh appoint McElroy as minor football manager

By Michael McMullan

FERMANAGH have appointed Tempo’s Niall McElroy as their new minor football manager.

He succeeds the outgoing duo of Raymond Johnston and Tony Collins who stepped down at the end of last season due to ”personal commitments”.

McElroy and Niall McCann were in charge of the Fermanagh u-16 development squad last year, with McCann and Eunan Maguire part of McElroy’s management with the minors.

Kieran Farmer has also been ratified as the county’s u-20 hurling manager.

Fermanagh had already rubber stamped their senior football and hurling management teams at their August meeting.

Joe Baldwin (hurling) and Kieran Donnelly (football) will remain in charge, while Maurice McLaughlin stays on board with the u-20 footballers.

McElroy follows Damian McErlain (Derry), Dermot Malone (Monaghan) and Benny Coulter (Down) as new managers at minor level in Ulster.
