McConville extends stint as Wicklow boss

Oisin McConville has extended his stay as Wicklow senior football manager for another two years, taking him through to the end of the 2027 season.

The Armagh All-Ireland winner was appointed in 2022 and led the county to the Tailteann Cup semi-finals in June, where they lost to Limerick.

The Leinster county also narrowly missed out on promotion to Division Three earlier this year.

Following that loss, McConville questioned whether he would continue in the role given the travel commitments.

McConville was co-manager of his own club Crossmaglen when they won the Ulster title in 2015.

He also managed Seneschalstown in Meath and had a spell in charge of Monaghan outfit Inniskeen Grattans.

"This year, under his leadership, Wicklow came within a score of promotion and delivered a thrilling Tailteann Cup semi-final display, only to be edged out by Limerick in the closing minutes," Wicklow GAA said.

"The progress achieved on and off the field has been widely commended by players, supporters and county board delegates alike."

Their statement added: "His commitment to fostering emerging talent, refining our tactical identity and driving a high-performance culture gives us every confidence that Wicklow football will continue to flourish."
