Top brass to share pearls of wisdom

SOME of the top names in GAA management and coaching will be involved in a coaching conference - Delivering a New Age for Gaelic Games - on Saturday, December 3, in The Helix, DCU.

Armagh’s Joe Kernan, Sean Boylan of Meath, Conor Hayes (Galway) and Donal O’Grady (Cork) will be among the speakers during the day-long event, while Liam Griffin (Wexford), Tony Hanahoe (Dublin), Mickey Harte (Tyrone), Michael Babs Keating (Tipperary), Anthony Daly (Clare) and Eugene McGee will address the closing forum, which will be chaired by Colm O’Rourke of Meath.

Run in conjunction with the GAA Grassroots to National Programme (GNP), and supported by Kellogg’s, the conference will offer the 1,000 delegates an opportunity to access talks relating to key coaching issues in both football and hurling.
