Dublin Ladies County Board Announcements

The Dublin Ladies County Board are delighted to announce
appointments to a number of county team Manager positions.
For the first time in many years all 5 county management
positions became vacant. This has allowed us take a step
back and look again at how we operate on the county front.
In conjunction with a number of very respected experts
in the field, a Strategic Plan has been drawn up and focuses
on the purpose, objectives and methods of each team as
well as the spirit in which we operate as a unit. This
Plan played an important part in the appointments process
and we are delighted to have on board candidates who are
fully committed to its implementation and who bring with
them the experience, commitment and dedication needed
to turn the dream into a reality.

For the first time the Minor and Junior teams are combined
under one management team and we are delighted to announce
the appointment of Dave Cullen to the position. Dave has
played a vital part on the senior county management team
for the last 3 years resulting in 3 Leinster titles and
two All Ireland finals.

Says County Board Chairman John Hillery of the appointment
“Dave Cullen brings to the table experience gained from
working with managers, coaches and players of the highest
calibre, operating at the highest level in ladies football.
It is little wonder his appointment met with complete
and unanimous support at this weeks county board meeting.“

Also appointed to Dave’s management team was Dublin playing
legend Martina Farrell and Anne O’Mahony who has also
worked with Dave and the senior management team for the
last 3 years.

Also appointed on the night to the Dublin U16 position
was Dermot Connolly of Cabinteely club who for the last
two years has played a pivotal role with the Dublin U14
teams who have achieved back to back All Ireland successes.
Dermot brings with him a wealth of experience and enthusiasm
and a proven track record.

John Hillery said of the appointment “Our strategy for
Dublin focuses on the development and preparation of young
players at county level for their senior team roles in
the future. Dermot shares this vision with us and has
all the credentials required to deliver”.

The Dublin Ladies County Board congratulate all newly
appointed candidates, wish them and their players well
in the season ahead and look forward to working with them
on the continued development and success of ladies football
in the capital.
