Castledawson retain their management ahead of new season

NIALL Jackman is back for a third season as manager of Derry intermediate side Castledawson .

The Fermanagh native will have Ciaran Lavery and Noel McKenna as part of his management team.

The former Erne minor boss, who blooded new players in last year’s campaign, will have to juggle his defensive shape around Niall Keenan’s availability.

Keenan is in the final year of his university course in Bournemouth and will be in their plans on his return.

Castledawson, who last won the title in 2016, lost to eventual champions Greenlough and Steelstown in the last two seasons.
