Inside Andy Moran's life from wife and children to day job as he's set to be named Mayo GAA manager
He's already secured two big name assistants MOR MAYO Inside Andy Moran's life from wife and children to day job as he's set to be named Mayo GAA manager ANDY Moran is on the cusp of being appointed manager of Mayo's senior men's footballers after being proposed by the county board. Monday's noteworthy update virtually guarantees it will be the 41-year-old who succeeds Kevin McStay after seeing off competition from Tony McEntee. 7 He's been married to other half Jennifer Drake since 2012 Credit: @andypmoran 7 They have a son named Ollie as well as a daughter called Charlotte Credit: @andypmoran 7 Charlotte memorably starred in this award-winning photo after the 2016 All-Ireland final 7 This won't be his first role as a senior inter-county boss While arguably a bit early for him to rise to his dream job, the 2017 Footballer of the Year has carved out a coaching CV worthy of being given his chance to lead the county. He managed Leitrim for three seasons from 2021. That stint didn't all go according to plan as they suffered a stunning loss to New York in the 2023 Connacht Championship. However, he did showcase the ability to bounce back from adversity in 2024 when he got them promoted from Division 4 of the National Football League. Moran opted to leave the post at the end of that campaign and ended up doing a year as part of Gabriel Bannigan's backroom team. His first coaching inroads had come with the Mayo Under-20s before he took joint-charge of his club Ballaghaderreen with Mike Solan prior to their 2021 campaign. WHAT IS ANDY MORAN'S JOB? He's owned a gym since 2015. There's now two locations in Claremorris as well as Castlebar. You can check out The Movement Gyms' Instagram page here. His college background comprises an undergrad in Business and Recreation from Sligo IT between 2003-2007 followed by an Msc in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from Ulster University which he completed in 2008. IS HE MARRIED? The former sharpshooter has been married to long-term partner Jennifer since 2012. They tied the knot in their hometown of Ballaghaderreen which is actually in county Roscommon despite Andy being a legend of the Green and Red. TJ Reid and wife Niamh de Brun's gorgeous pregnancy reveal In excess of 300 guests watched on as their nuptials were held at Kilronan Castle. PLAYING HONOURS The full-forward called time on his inter-county playing career in 2019. Among the honours he earned along the way were eight Connacht championship medals, two NFL Division 1 titles and two All-Stars to go with his Footballer of the Year gong. 7 This season saw him work under Farney chief Gabriel Bannigan 7 He released his autobiography in 2021 Credit: @andypmoran 7 Moran holds the unfortunate record of most All-Ireland finals played (six) without having won one In his Sligo IT days he won three Sigerson Cups while he has two county championships with Ballaghaderreen. COUNTY BACKING Upon Monday's news that he is to be put forward for ratification at the next meeting of the Mayo county board a spokesperson gave him a glowing endorsement. They said: 'Andy Moran and his backroom team bring a wealth of experience. 'Their combined knowledge, leadership and proven track records will be invaluable in driving the continued development and success of Mayo football.' He will be aided by two high-profile backroom members in Colm Boyle and Paddy Tally - who was Derry's manager up until last month.

Kyle Hayes: Footage emerges of collision that left Limerick star hospitalised
Footage has emerged of the collision which resulted in Kyle Hayes receiving extensive treatment and being checked out in hospital. The incident occured in a Limerick senior club championship tie last Friday night. Treaty five-time All-Ireland winner Hayes was left on the ground for a number of minutes following a first half challenge at Sean Finn Park, Rathkeale. Hayes was forced out of the drawn game with Newcastle West after the incident, which saw defender Maurice Murphy red carded by referee Johnny Murphy following the tackle. 27-year-old Hayes was checked out by medics before being taken to hospital. Hayes' Kildimo-Pallaskenry's club play Newcastle West in senior football championship action at Rathkeale this Friday evening. It seems unlikely that Hayes, who also plays club football, will be involved in that one. The Kildimo-Pallaskenry hurlers are back in action the weekend after next and he may return for that one depending on how his recovery goes.

Kerry Rose backed to do a famous double for the Kingdom
Kerry Rose Laura Daly is being backed at the bookies to complete a famous double for the Kingdom when the Rose of Tralee festivities kick off this weekend. With Sam Maguire silverware already in the trophy cabinet after the county's footballers triumphed over Donegal in the All-Ireland Final, there could be plenty more to celebrate when this year's winner dons the famous sash next Tuesday. Laura has been clipped into 5/1 from 7/1 by BOYLE Sports just days before the annual festival takes centre stage, as the 23 year-old dancer bids to become the first Kerry native to secure a local victory in the competition since Margaret O'Keeffe in 1964. Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: 'Kerry is already basking in the glow of Sam Maguire's return and now all eyes are on the Kerry Rose to see if she can complete a famous double. A Rose of Tralee crown on top of an All-Ireland title would be the stuff of county folklore and punters clearly fancy the fairytale to come true.' The latest betting means she is now second favourite, but the odds suggest some hot competition from a neighbouring county, as Cork's Nancy Lehane has been singled out as the bookies' frontrunner. The Meelin girl has a passion for singing and also adds the piano, guitar, concertina and tin whistle to an impressive array of musical talents. With winners representing New York and New Zealand over the past two years, another international victor could also be on the cards with UAE Rose Ceiline O'Meara (5/1) also well fancied. Ceiline, who packed her beloved harp when she moved to the Middle East from her native county of Limerick, is a former All-Ireland Fleadh Champion who has performed to Emirati royalty at the Dubai World Cup.
