Ciarán Comerford has stood down as Roscommon hurling manager.

The Laois native was in his final year of his three year term and has decided to leave now to facilitate the smooth transfer for a new manager ahead of 2021.

Roscommon have begun the process of searching for a new manager ahead of the Christy Ring competition in October.

“I’d like to thank Ciarán for his efforts over the past two and half years with the Roscommon team,” said Roscommon Hurling Board Chairman Christy McDermott.

“I fully respect the decision he has made, as the Christy Ring Competition will not now commence until much later in the year. Ciarán feels this is a more appropriate time to step down as it allows a new manager to prepare for the Christy Ring Cup and the new season which will follow on so closely. We had some good days including our winning of the Division 3A National League last year. For those, we thank you Ciarán”.
