Armagh on lookout for new hurling manager as Karl McKeegan steps down from role
Under the former Christy Ring winner, the Orchard county reached the Division Three Final in the National League in his first season in charge but they were unable to reach that height again.
Following a disappointing 2024, this year Armagh failed to reach the Nicky Rackard Cup Final after failing to exit their group, leading to McKeegan's resignation.
According to the Irish Times, Middletown's Na Fianna manager Kevin 'Kizzy' Hughes is the favourite to take over from the Cushendall man after leading his side to nine senior club championship titles in the last decade, with the club going for seven-in-a-row this year.
Former Keady Lamh Dhearg manager Declan Napier is also believed to be interested and would bring considerable experience to the role having worked as a club coach in Armagh and Down, as well as managing the Down senior camogie team.

Wrexham 'will break financial rules' with promotion as Ryan Reynolds warned
Wrexham's Hollywood owners have been told they face an uphill challenge in reaching the Premier League in the near future without being punished over financial breaches Wrexham's Hollywood owners have been warned they will struggle to reach the Premier League in the next couple of years without breaking financial rules. The Welsh side have enjoyed enormous success since being bought by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney more than four years ago. Under the management of Phil Parkinson, Wrexham have achieved promotion in each of their last three seasons, lifting them from the National League into the Championship. The Red Dragons have been backed in some quarters to challenge again in the second tier next term as the co-owners look to achieve their dream of taking the club all the way to the Premier League. However, a football finance expert has now cautioned the A-list pair that a short-term push for the top flight will be difficult to achieve without contravening profit and sustainability (PSR) rules. Dr Rob Wilson said he believed a mid-table finish would be more realistic for Wrexham as they look to establish themselves at the next level. He told BettingLounge: "I don't see how Wrexham can get into the Premier League in a season or two without breaching the financial regulations that exist within the division. However, you would probably argue given their trajectory that if they were to get into the Premier League, they would probably stay there for a little while. "Then they could afford to take any hit if they were then ultimately relegated at some point. I think mid-table is probably where I think you'd see an incredible amount of investment to try and protect that. It links with the new stadium and with some of the broader plans to activate the commercial and the broadcast opportunities. "Probably mid-table would be a good shout, but they'll have to invest heavily to achieve that. I'm probably with some of the Championship club chief executives and I think it'll be incredibly difficult for them to do that mainly because of parachute payments. "All those clubs coming out are three times more likely to be promoted next year than anybody that doesn't have a parachute payment. The odds are heavily stacked against them, but who'd have thought Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney would have owned Wrexham a few years ago." Last week, it was reported that Reynolds and McElhenney are seeking fresh investment in Wrexham in a move which could see the club's value soar to as much as £350million. It's claimed that bank advisors have been instructed to find potential new investors and to discover if there is a demand. The new suggested valuation of around £350m would make Wrexham the highest priced team in the Championship. For context, Sheffield United were bought in December by an American consortium for roughly £111m. However, Dr Wilson has expressed scepticism over the lofty figure, despite admitting to being impressed by the amount of money the two actors have been able to generate. He said: "It's bonkers, it's just a massive valuation and reflects the Disneyification of Wrexham. It reflects the blend of their asset base, their projected earnings and their projected media exposure based on what they've been able to get through the Disney+ series. "The global following and the promotion boost that they will have achieved really helps just amplify it. That valuation is nuts. But then football as a product is nuts sometimes. If people want to be involved in that story then it's a great way of raising an additional bit of capital. It's a great way of accelerating your team's progression. "But they are running a very smart business operation behind the scenes, which is naturally amplified because of the ownership. I don't know what the ceiling is but a club valuation three times that of Sheffield United is really optimistic."

Promotion: Tony Pulis doesn't rule out Wrexham going up
That is the view of Tony Pulis who believes nothing is impossible at The Racecourse. The Reds finished runners-up in League One last term to go straight up to the Championship where they will line-up for the first time in 43 years. Having made history by clinching back-to-back-to-back promotions, with the club climbing from the National League to the second tier at a rapid rate, Wrexham will make the biggest step-up yet when they come up against the likes of Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton. But former Premier League manager Pulis says Parkinson knows that is needed in this division, where he managed Bolton Wanderers, and refuses to discount Wrexham. Pulis told BoyleSports, who offer the latest football odds, "Phil Parkinson has experience of Championship football. He'll understand what's needed. "To get three promotions, I don't care what anybody says, to get three promotions on the bounce is just exceptional. "They are in such a positive place at the moment, the crowd are behind them massively and they'll have to be next year as well because the level moves up again, but nothing is impossible. "The fans will really get behind them and it's going to be an interesting league next year. Very, very interesting. "It'll be interesting to see what Wrexham do and what they can achieve."

All-Ireland finals could move to August in 2027
GAA president Jarlath Burns says the All-Ireland Senior Football and Hurling finals could be pushed back to August from 2027. While the two showpieces games were traditionally played in September, they have been staged in July since 2022 as part of the split-season model. Earlier this year, Burns said the finals would not be moved to August in 2026, but a proposal to tweak the calendars could now be considered at Special Congress in at the launch of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship on Tuesday, Burns said: "Croke Park operates with regard to its priorities and how it does its business a year in advance. So, already, because we hadn't made a decision on that, August 2026 is taken up. That puts August 2027 into the mix."I'm around the country all the time, in clubs and counties every single day of the week, and the thing that I get most debate on are the timings of the All-Ireland finals. "And there is a school of thought that is saying that first and third weeks in August, leaving everything as it is, okay, first and third weeks in August."Burns, whose term as president ends in February 2027, also said he favours provincial finals being decided by replays. Cork beat Limerick on penalties in last weekend's Munster Hurling decider while Burns' native Armagh lost Ulster Football final shootouts in 2023 and 2024."I suppose that brings that into focus as well," added Burns."There are people who are very favourable towards the preliminary quarter-finals, but we will always be led by what the counties want. We decided that we would hold that particular one back."You don't have to talk to me above anybody else about replays and provincial finals. We've (Armagh) lost three now, two quarter-finals, on penalties. I would be very much in favour of replays where at all possible."
