Kelly tipped to take over as Carlow boss

PAUL KELLY yesterday emerged as the likely successor to Luke Dempsey as manager of County Carlow’s senior footballers.

Kelly, who was controversially sacked as Offaly boss last year, is set to be ratified by the Carlow board within the next week.

It’s expected that Kelly will be joined by Tom Foley, a former Wexford footballer, who was part of Luke Dempsey’s backroom team, while Fenagh’s manager, John Drewett, could also be invited on board.
