Down delegates’ ballot sees Carr depart after three seasons at the helm

ROSS CARR was last night ousted as Down senior football manager after a vote of club delegates went against him. Carr wished to stay on for a fourth season in charge but was removed after county board delegates opted to vote him out.

The twice All-Ireland winner led Down to this year’s Division 3 league final but they bowed out of the championship with disappointing losses to Fermanagh and Wicklow.

Meanwhile, Sligo last night reappointed Galway legend Kevin Walsh for a second season in charge following promising league and championship campaigns.
