Justin McNulty’s tenure as Laois senior football manager is set for a third season.
This morning (Friday) saw Laois GAA confirming its inter-county management teams for the 2026 season via social media.
Armagh man McNulty remains in charge of the O’Moore County’s senior footballers, with Kieran Kelly over the U20s and Dave McGrath overseeing the minors’ fortunes.
McNulty’s backroom teams will again see him joined by coach/selectors Ross Munnelly and Diarmuid Carroll with Oscar O’Dwyer in charge of strength and conditioning.
Meanwhile, Tommy Fitzgerald is set to oversee the county’s senior hurlers for a second season with his backroom team yet to be finalised after coach/selector Niall Corcoran stepped down.
Portlaoise’s Derek Delaney continues on as Laois U20 hurling manager and Brendan Phelan will take over the role as minor manager from Glen McEvoy.
“We extend our best wishes to all players, coaches, and support staff as they begin preparations for the year ahead,” a statement from Laois GAA read.
