Gary McDaid has been returned unopposed as the Glenswilly Senior team manager.
The secondary schoolteacher was elected at last night’s AGM of the county champions at Foxhall.
In his comprehensive address to the club, McDaid admitted that when he sat down last January, he knew his team were well behind the top half dozen teams in the county.
But with hard graft and the commitment of the players and the backroom team, Glenswilly beat Killybegs to win the Dr Maguire Cup.
But despite reaching the Ulster Club Final, McDaid admitted that he still thinks they could have beaten Ballinderry.
“It still hurts us a lot as a group as we had opportunities in the game but didn’t make the most of them and felt we more than matched and had the beating of this mighty Ballinderry team.
“We often think of “what could have been,” he said.
At last night’s AGM, Mick Murphy was also returned as club chairman for a second year.
