Replying To CastleBravo: "It'd be farcically easy for an outside manager to just pay for membership of the club and become an "inside" manager." But would he or she be interested if there was no "expenses" involved!! MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 742 - 06/11/2018 12:36:14 2149846 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "I think the day of appointing outside managers should be brought to an end. A outside manager coming in is only interested in two things, and that is furthering there own career and making a few quid. All clubs should be preparing managers to step up from there underage through to the adult teams and have a succession plan in place. Expertise like S&C and maybe a outside skills coach can be looked at from outside the club but in my opinion all clubs should strive to appoint from within. Dunboyne have had this policy for a long time." Is the current manager from Within the club ? Sean Kelly a Dunboyne man too ? Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1338 - 06/11/2018 14:48:18 2149882 Link
Replying To Analyst: "Is the current manager from Within the club ? Sean Kelly a Dunboyne man too ?" As far as I can see, the Dunboyne management is from Dunshaughlin, Dunderry and St.Pergrines. Hardly local Dunboyne men. Ibbecek (Meath) - Posts: 196 - 06/11/2018 15:04:22 2149892 Link
In the interview with the Chronicle before the Senior Football final I'm almost certain it said their manager was a member of the Dunshaughlin 3 in a row team. Sean Kelly is Dunboyne's coach and I'd say he'd be surprised as any of us to learn he's actually from Dunboyne.... CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1391 - 06/11/2018 15:14:53 2149895 Link
All of Dunboyne's management team, except Sean Kelly, are now Dunboyne club men. Ciaran Byrne was a Dunshaughlin player but has been living in Dunboyne for a long time and was a underage coach in the club. His son has played for Dunboyne all the way through to the Senior team. John Lowndes lives in Dunboyne and is a Dunboyne club man. I would have no problem with clubs bringing coaches on board from outside the club as part of the management team, however I feel the manager has to be from that club. Plenty of clubs have taken this approach. BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 06/11/2018 15:41:22 2149904 Link

Yeah all Dunboyne men just doing it for the love of the game. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 06/11/2018 18:12:16 2149942 Link
Replying To bobjaffacake: "Ciaran Byrne is actually from Ratoath.played with Ratoath then transferred to Dunshaughlin. Now living in Dunboyne" You could be right I don't know . What I do know is that he played for Dunshaughlin but has been living in dunboyne for years and has been involved in the club at underage level for years so I certainly wouldn't class him as an outside manager.

Sean Kelly actually played for Dunboyne up to u12 before he moved to Dunderry. Played on the same team as John Lowndes believe it or not Meathgaa5 (Meath) - Posts: 333 - 06/11/2018 21:11:23 2149970 Link
Replying To Meathgaa5: "Sean Kelly actually played for Dunboyne up to u12 before he moved to Dunderry. Played on the same team as John Lowndes believe it or not" He didn't. John only made the u12 B team while Sean was on the A's. Once again ur info in inaccurate Aloblack (Meath) - Posts: 265 - 06/11/2018 21:40:06 2149977 Link

Anyone know why Ciaran Kenny stepped down from Simonstown. Was involved for a long time as coach surprising that he only did one year as manager? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 07/11/2018 11:41:10 2150034 Link
Replying To Aloblack: "He didn't. John only made the u12 B team while Sean was on the A's. Once again ur info in inaccurate" Sean Kelly was never in Dunboyne. Comes from Meadstown Dunderry. As was every generation before him. Ibbecek (Meath) - Posts: 196 - 07/11/2018 14:43:59 2150059 Link

Replying To BigJoe14: "Anyone know why Ciaran Kenny stepped down from Simonstown. Was involved for a long time as coach surprising that he only did one year as manager?" From what I've heard Ciaran Kenny took the job on short notice last year after being involved the last 4 years. Young family and shift work in the mines means he needs a break.

Replying To Meathmaverick: "From what I've heard Ciaran Kenny took the job on short notice last year after being involved the last 4 years.

Replying To BigJoe14: "That was my suspicion alright. I do remember now that Colm O'Rourke stood down fairly late on in the year." Tough act to follow for kenny and especially when you lose vital members of ur team in Shane o Rourke Connor Nash and to a lesser extent Seamus Kenny who was always good to bring on there for 20/30 minutes. Take 3 influential players like that out of any team and their gonna find difficult but from what I hear about Ciaran Kenny he's very very good so hopefully we see him back coaching or managing somewhere. Meath needs all these promising young managers and coaches to progress . The more we have in the county the better . Aloblack (Meath) - Posts: 265 - 08/11/2018 11:34:59 2150181 Link
