INAGH’s Eugene Foudy is to be ratified as the next manager of the Clare senior camogie team.
Foudy will be proposed for a two-year term at the October meeting of the Clare Camogie Board where details on his management will also be unveiled.
Clare Camogie in a statement on Monday morning announced the plans to appoint Foudy but did not include details of his proposed management team.
Chairperson of Clare Camogie, Fergal O’Brien stated, “We are delighted that someone of Eugene’s experience is available to take up this hugely important position. The challenge for Eugene and his backroom team is to take Clare camogie to the next level. We believe that Eugene has the required credentials to lead this talented group of players forward. We wish him every success, and I am sure our supporters will get fully behind Eugene, his management and the team”.
Eugene has been part of John Carmody’s management for the past three seasons. He was previously involved with the county’s junior and minor sides, the minors reaching the All-Ireland final on two occasions under his watch.
At club level, Eugene has managed Inagh/Kilnamona to win four Clare senior camogie championships while he managed the Inagh senior hurlers in 2007 prior to their amalgamation with Kilnamona. He is the managing director of Amber Fire Protection Limited.
Meelick native Conor Dolan who was involved in Galway’s All-Ireland success this season had expressed an interest in the role, The Clare Echo understands. Dolan has been involved with inter-county camogie sides since 2018 including Galway and Clare. He was part of Davy Fitzgerald’s backroom team with Antrim this season.
