Ger Manley has decided to step down as manager of the Cork senior camogie team. 

Manley thanked the Executive of Cork Camogie for the opportunity afforded him and for all their help and assistance during his time in the role. 

Manley was first a selector under Mathew Twomey before becoming manager in 2024. "However he thinks the time is right for a fresh voice as Cork go forward in 2027 to retain their All-Ireland title," a statement reads. 

Manley also thanked his fellow selectors and management teams as well as the players for their hard work, dedication and commitment. He said there are an incredible group, and he wishes them all the very best going forward.

A statement reads: "Chairperson of Cork Camogie, Pádraig Treacy, expressed his disappointment that Manley had opted to step away but said that the Board fully respect his decision. He said Ger has done a remarkable job during his term as manager, and they are very appreciative of his endeavours and his achievements. 

"During his time as manager, Cork won two All Ireland titles and the National league, which Cork hadn’t won in 13 years, and also a Munster championship. 

"He recently also managed Ireland to back-to-back Shinnty/Camogie series success. His efforts in 2026 in rebuilding the team after a loss of a number of players at the end of last season leaves the team in a very strong position."
