Joe Kernan was installed as Liam Sammon's successor on Wednesday night's (Sept 9th)Galway football board meeting in Loughgeorge, Galway. Kernan has been handed a three-year term, with a review at the end of each season.
Kernanwas to have said that his "Galway blood" was a guiding factor in his decision to become the senior football manager. His late mother hailed from Ballinasloe and he boasts family connections with John and Pat Donnellan from the three-in-a-row team of the '60s, while his uncle Sean Ward also wore the maroon jersey.
The new manager could have his backroom team finalised as early as Tuesday (Sept. 15th), with Alan Mulholland and Paul McGettigan among those who could be included.
Galway football chairman John Joe Holleran is confident that Kernan is the man to take the Tribesmen forward. Well, we will have to wait and see!

ReplyDeleteYes, there are no guarantees in anything, but the appointment is encouraging for Galway county football moving forward.
