NEW CLARE senior camogie manager Eugene Foudy has opted against freshening up the county management.
Inagh native Foudy who led Inagh/Kilnamona to a fifth Clare senior camogie championship in the past fortnight was announced as the successor to John Carmody at the beginning of September.
Eugene has been handed a two-year term by Clare Camogie. He had been part of Carmody’s management for the past three seasons and is opting to stick with continuing on the coaching front.
Clarecastle’s Aaron Considine who two weeks ago managed Garryspillane’s promotion to the senior ranks in the Limerick SHC after defeating Effin on penalties. He has previously managed Tipperary side Toomevara and coached Moneygall.
Ex Clare hurler, Jason McCarthy will serve alongside Considine in a coaching capacity. McCarthy was part of the Inagh/Kilnamona management alongside Foudy which steered the club to their first senior championship win in five seasons. He was responsible for S&C for the county side last season and has previously been involved with the Clarecastle/Ballyea camogie team. He made his championship debut for the Clare senior hurlers in 2019 but did not return to the panel after sustaining a serious ankle injury playing for his club in 2022.
Dermot Maher remains as the Clare goalkeeper coach and will also be on camera duty assisting with video analysis with Kieran McDermott of Clarecastle leading the stats team.
Tubber native Josephine Taaffe now based in Ruan and Sixmilebridge’s Anne McNamara who were involved last year remain part of the ticket as female liaison officer and logistics officer respectively.
Darragh Moloney of Clarecastle who worked alongside Considine with Toomevara and Corofin will be responsible for S&C.
Former Clare player and two-time senior championship winner with Truagh/Clonlara, Michelle Caulfield will be the team’s psychologist, she is a new addition to the set-up.
Eva Moynan of Excel Physiotherapy is the team’s physiotherapist and Grainne Travers who was drafted in by Carmody continues as the team nutritionist.
Following Inagh/Kilnamona’s defeat in the Munster championship, Foudy’s focus now switches solely to county matters and he is in the process of building his panel for 2026.
