Coiste Chontae Dhoire ratify management teams for 2026

Following Thursday night’s meeting of Coiste Chontae Dhoire, Derry GAA is pleased to announce the appointment of Ciaran Meenagh as senior football manager.

Ciaran Meenagh first joined the Derry senior football management team in late 2018 and served for five seasons as a coach and later as manager – a period that included promotion from Division Four to Division One and back-to-back Ulster Senior Football titles.

He will lead a management team that includes former Derry captain and All-Star footballer Chrissy McKaigue.

Delegates also ratified the re-appointment of Under 20 football (Damian McErlain), Minor football (Kieran Glackin), Senior hurling (Johnny McGarvey), Under 20 hurling (Ryan O’Neill) and Minor hurling (Danny McGrellis) management teams.

We wish all management teams and their playing panel every success for the 2026 season.
