One of last season’s beaten county finalists have confirmed that Joe Brolly will take over as charge of their senior team.
In a social media post issued last night, it has been confirmed that Joe Brolly is set to take over as manager of the Knockmore Ladies team.
The Derry native has been involved in the North Mayo club in recent years at a coaching level, in which he was part of Ray Dempsey’s senior men’s team.
Brolly will be looking to guide the saffron and blue back to the top of the pile in the ladies circuit, with the club last tasting Championship glory in 2023.
In the last two years, Knockmore have reached the County final, where they lost out to Westport.

Brolly takes over from Stephen Sweeney, who led the club to the 2025 decider.
The Knockmore GAA club announced the news via a social media post last night:
"Following a meeting this evening, the Knockmore LGFA Chairperson, Patricia Dempsey, is happy to announce that Joe Brolly has been appointed as the Knockmore LGFA Senior Manager.
"Joe brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge and the club is extremely excited at this appointment. Joe is looking forward to the challenge and he outlined his vision earlier with great enthusiasm and all at Knockmore GAA and LGFA wish him and the Senior Ladies team every success."
