Wicklow GAA have confirmed that senior football boss Oisin McConville will remain in the position for another two years.

Speculation around McConville's future in Wicklow was rife, with several managerial vacancies around the country, but the former All-Ireland winner with Armagh has decided to stay put.

Crossmaglen clubman McConville took over prior to the 2023 campaign and his journey in the post led him to a Tailteann Cup semi-final this year, where his Wicklow side narrowly lost out to Jimmy Lee's Limerick. 

"Since taking the reins, Oisín has overseen a marked upturn in performance and squad development,” a statement read. “This year, under his leadership, Wicklow came within a score of promotion and delivered a thrilling Tailteann Cup semi-final display, only to be edged out by Limerick in the closing minutes. 

"The progress achieved on and off the field has been widely commended by players, supporters and County Board delegates alike.

"As Oisín embarks on his fourth season with the county, we look forward to building on this momentum. His commitment to fostering emerging talent, refining our tactical identity and driving a high-performance culture gives us every confidence that Wicklow football will continue to flourish.

"We thank Oisín for his dedication to our county and look forward to another exciting chapter under his stewardship.”
