Derry board hits back at ‘misleading comments’

Derry County Board moved yesterday to correct “misleading comments” made after Derry’s All-Ireland senior football championship exit.

Their statement declared the board had “not considered, discussed, hinted, or made any approaches as regards next year’s management of teams”.

“It remains the policy of Derry County Board not to review team management for next season whilst some of our teams remain in the championship, and we are eagerly anticipating an All-Ireland U21 hurling semi final against Tipperary.”
