Dublin caretaker roles for O’Riordan and Ryan

MICK O’RIORDAN and Tom Ryan have been appointed joint caretaker managers of the Dublin senior hurling team pending the appointment of a team manager.

The former selectors will work under the capital's director of hurling Diarmuid Healy. Their first task is a trial game on Friday, October 31 at Ballymun.

The county board has appointed a committee to recruit a new manager: John Bailey, John Costelloe, Michael O'Grady and Diarmuid Healy.

Meanwhile, newly-crowned Dublin senior football champions St Brigids have to plan without Martin Cahill for their Leinster club campaign.

Brigids will meet the winners of this weekend's clash of Louth champions St Patrick's of Lordship and The Downs of Westmeath in an away fixture on November 9 but Cahill will be in Australia on holidays.

Nominations have been announced for the first Ladies football AllStars.

Champions Mayo have 12.
