Devlin returns to Louth
Gavin Devlin back with the Wee County as Underage Football Development Co-Ordinator
Former Louth coach, Gavin Devlin, has been appointed as the new county Underage Football Development Co-Ordinator, ten months after leaving his coaching role with the Wee County to join Derry with Mickey Harte.
The Tyrone native will take charge of the county's academy squads, as well as the Post-primary and Rising Stars programs. He will work closely with Pierce Caherty, the county's Games Development Manager, and the underage coaches.
County Chairman Seán McClean mentioned that Devlin would also be available to assist with coaching at the club level. Ger Brennan, the senior team manager, who was involved in the decision-making process, supports the Ardboe clubmans return.
During the July County Board meeting, County Treasurer, Aidan Berrill, also announced a strict 'ticket only' policy for the upcoming Club Football Championships, with no cash transactions at the gates.
He stressed that while exceptions had been made previously, this practice would be discontinued. Berrill urged clubs to inform their members about the new ticketing system.
A season ticket, priced at €150, will be available for the Club Championship, covering 74 matches. Individual match admission prices are set to increase from €10 to €12 for adults and from €5 to €6 for students and OAPs.
