Leitrim senior hurlers will be managed by Carrick clubman Olcan Conway in 2020.

Despite interest from candidates from several different counties, the Leitrim GAA Board have opted to hand the reins to Conway.

He takes over from Martin Cunniffe who was ousted by the players following their Lory Meagher Cup win earlier this year.

Interviews for the position took place last week and Leitrim chairman Terence Boyle told the Leitrim Observer that Conway was the stand out candidate.

“Olcan has a very good record with Carrick-on-Shannon and he is very keen to get going, he knows every hurler in the county and knows everyone involved in hurling. It was an absolutely excellent interviews,” said Boyle.

Conway guided Carrick to a first ever Connacht club title for Leitrim and his enthusiasm for the game is sure to rub off on the players.
