Wicklow Football Manager McConville Extends Stay Until 2027

Oisin McConville has committed to remain as Wicklow senior football manager through the end of the 2027 season, rejecting speculation linking him to vacancies in Louth and Mayo. McConville, an Armagh All-Ireland winner, has led Wicklow to notable achievements including a Tailteann Cup semi-final appearance and a near miss for promotion to Division Three. Despite contemplating departure due to travel and family considerations, he opted to continue after reflecting on his commitment and the progress made under his leadership. Wicklow GAA praised McConville for fostering emerging talent, developing a strong tactical identity, and cultivating a high-performance culture within the team. His decision is seen as a boost for Wicklow football, which has shown marked improvement both on and off the field. McConville's choice also removes him from contention for the Louth managerial position, which remains vacant after Ger Brennan's departure.
