Channonrock-native Micheál McKeown was ratified as the new Louth Senior Ladies team manager in Louth Village tonight. He is expected to fulfil a two-year term in the role

McKeown, an All-Ireland winning manager with Monaghan Ladies in 1996, replaces the partnership of Fergal McNally and John O'Leary after the County Board failed to ratify the duo's re-election for the 2018 campaign.

Louth suffered a disappointing season, winning only four matches, in being relegated back to the Junior ranks in the championship, while also failing to secure promotion from Division Four of the National Football League.
