The days of the Leitrim senior hurling manager’s position being an unattractive prospect has well and truly passed.

The 2019 Lory Meagher Cup winners are on the look out for a new manager after Martin Cunniffe was forced to step down amidst player unrest.

The position was advertised online with seven candidates in line to take over the role as the county look to life in the Nicky Rackard Cup next year.

Leitrim chairman Terence Boyle told the Leitrim Observer that they have been delighted by the interest shown in the position.

“We have applications from Cork, Limerick, Mayo, Donegal, Dublin, Kildare and Leitrim and there seems to be huge interest in the job,” said Boyle.

Interviews began on Wednesday, December 4th and with their league campaign starting with a trip to Brewster Park on January 25th, the board are keen to fill the position sooner rather than later.
