Roscommon and Connacht club senior football champions, St. Brigid’s, have confirmed the new manager of the club’s senior football team.
Mayo native Damien Mulligan will take over from Anthony Cunningham who stepped down after two seasons in charge a few weeks ago.
Mulligan is a former Crossmolina Deel Rovers player where he won an All-Ireland club title in 2001.
He was part of Kevin McStay’s recent management team in Mayo, joining the former St. Brigid’s manager’s coaching ticket in 2022.
Before that, he was in charge of Mayo outfit, Belmullet, leading them to a county intermediate football championship title in 2018 and a subsequent senior final appearance in 2021 where they were defeated by Knockmore.
“St. Brigid's GAA Club are delighted to announce that Damien Mulligan will be taking up the role of our senior men's manager for the year ahead.
“His backroom team and the management teams of our intermediate and junior teams will be announced in due course.
"We wish Damien and all involved the best of luck for the year ahead," said Brigid’s in a statement on Thursday evening.
