Joe Brolly has joined returning Knockmore manager Ray Dempsey’s backroom team for the coming season.

The 1993 Derry All-Ireland SFC winner and former Sunday Game analyst will double up as head coach / selector with the Mayo football giants, working alongside Dempsey and ex-Sligo sharpshooter Dessie Sloyan. Despite living beside the Knockmore GAA grounds and helping to coach the club’s ladies teams, Brolly’s move into club management comes as a surprise.

Ray Dempsey is embarking on his second term as Knockmore manager, having retaken the reins from Aidan Kilcoyne and John Brogan, who stepped down as joint-managers after losing last year’s Mayo SFC final to Ballina Stephenites.

The former Mayo star guided his home club to back-to-back Moclair Cups during his previous tenure in 2020 and ’21.
