Replying To BigJoe14: "Is Davy Nelson not the new Meath ladies manager?" He is. No way he'll be double jobbing. Not possible with a gig like the ladies one. Blackspot09 (Meath) - Posts: 1003 - 17/11/2022 15:21:26 2447942 Link
Replying To UsernameInvalid: "Robbie Brennan potentially to the Tones depending on how Kilmacud get on. PK to the Bracks and will be a joint manager with Kinnegad. Talk for Brian Farrell to Kells and Ashbourne looking at Ger Brennan (not sure how reliable that one is) David Nolan is a candidate for Bective and Davy Nelson back to O Mahonys both have been big hits with regional teams Some insane rumors doing the rounds" Robbie Brennan is definitely not going to tones Awaywin (Meath) - Posts: 116 - 17/11/2022 15:34:05 2447945 Link
Replying To Blackspot09: "He is. No way he'll be double jobbing. Not possible with a gig like the ladies one." Agreed, Mickey Harte double jobbing with Slaughtneil an interesting one. Even PK Ballinabracky/Kinnegad combo also interesting,. In fairness both in close proximity but still 1 team be hard enough. I have always rated his teams he's trained.

David Hosie to O Mahonys. He was in with Ultans again but pulled out few weeks ago. Nolan is gone to Bective alright therightmanhasitnowflynn (Meath) - Posts: 2 - 18/11/2022 12:05:46 2448029 Link

Very close to but still not over the line. thelutch (Meath) - Posts: 1073 - 20/11/2022 14:11:18 2448219 Link
Kevin Reilly has stepped down as Trim manager. A bit surprissing that. BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 997 - 21/11/2022 11:57:38 2448298 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "Kevin Reilly has stepped down as Trim manager. A bit surprissing that." Not a bit, Jimmy Canty is the top dog in Trim those days. And rightly so. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1080 - 21/11/2022 12:17:14 2448305 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "Kevin Reilly has stepped down as Trim manager. A bit surprissing that." That is a big surprise - he has done a good job there and they are a 'coming' team! Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 511 - 21/11/2022 12:29:09 2448310 Link

Replying To MillerX: "Not a bit, Jimmy Canty is the top dog in Trim those days. And rightly so." So is there an internal issue with hurling vs football? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 997 - 21/11/2022 13:00:27 2448318 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "So is there an internal issue with hurling vs football?" I don't know if there is an issue between hurling and football, just that one manager delivered, the other apparently didn't and as it seems to be the norm those days that if instant success is not achieved then it's the manager's fault. A look at the number of vacancies on this stream goes a long way in proving my point. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1080 - 21/11/2022 13:50:12 2448322 Link

The hurling job is not comparable when you consider the conveyor belt of hurlers in the club. This looks to be purely Kevin's decision and I suspect that it will be a search for a manager that the club had not been expecting. stillaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 225 - 21/11/2022 14:45:43 2448329 Link

Hurling and football managers got on great and club back both fully. Trim lost 2 out of 18 games under Reilly in 2022! Meathgaalad (Meath) - Posts: 171 - 21/11/2022 15:09:27 2448332 Link

Trim lost 2 out of 18 games under Reilly in 2022!" Part of Trims success in recent years has been the cooperation between football and hurling management. Split sessions, hurling weeks, football weeks, managing how much dual players are doing and working alongside eachother. From what I've heard trim will be down a lot of their panel from last year due to emigration also tuppy23 (Meath) - Posts: 154 - 21/11/2022 17:39:42 2448355 Link
Agree with the lads above. The idea that Trim, after 10 years in Intermediate with little underage success in recent years and who haven't won a SFC in decades, would fire their manager for simply not winning the SFC at the first attempt is just ridiculous. I can only imagine Reilly went of his own accord. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1664 - 21/11/2022 18:58:03 2448363 Link

Kevin's decision was mainly based on that. Felt they would not be in a position to be competitive in SFC next year. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3983 - 21/11/2022 20:27:30 2448371 Link
Replying To Blackspot09: "How exactly did K Reilly not deliver for Trim?" If you read my post again I stated 'apparently others' considered that he didn't deliver THIS YEAR. In the aftermath of several bad wides in Clonard v Na Fianna I listened to several Trim supporters heap the blame on Kevin and he didn't kick a ball that evening. I had a feeling that this was coming. Of course he delivered big time in 2021 by winning the IFC and returning Trim to the SFC and reached the All Ireland, bonus territory indeed but fans are fickle.
