Rochford linked to Galway job

Despite Declan Bonner’s ratification as Donegal manager for 2020, his head coach Stephen Rochford is believed to be a live candidate to replace Kevin Walsh as Galway senior football manager.

Walsh yesterday put an end to a few days of speculation by confirming his departure after five years at the helm. County officials had been keen for him to remain on but chairman Pat Keaney explained he took the decision to step aside himself.
