Down ladies are searching for a new senior management team after Colm Donnelly confirmed he and his backroom’s departure. The loss of the full management team is a setback for the Down board, who will consider their own options now as Donnelly directed tributes to his backroom team, who put in some sterling work.“ There’s speculation that Donnelly could be in line for a role in his native Monaghan with Enda Flannigan’s management role apparently up in the air as the senior manager’s job was advertised recently. The Down County board paid tribute on social media to Donnelly and his coaching team, saying: “The management team’s commitment to our county team, along with the time and sacrifices they made throughout the season, are greatly appreciated.” Whatever the future holds for Donnelly he was quick to affirm his time in the Mourne County was enjoyable:“It’s been an unbelievable experience.
