Mayo confirm appointment of three-time All-Ireland winner O'Hora

The former All-Star recently managed Kildare.

MAYO LGFA have confirmed the appointment of Diane O’Hora as their new manager.

The three-time All-Ireland winner takes charge following ratification at Thursday night’s county board meeting.

The former All-Star stepped down as Kildare LGFA senior manager last summer after two successful seasons in charge.

She oversaw back-to-back National League Division 3 and Division 2 title successes with the county, in addition to helping them win the All-Ireland intermediate championship crown.

O’Hora succeeds Liam MacHale at the helm of her native county, having had managerial stints at Roscommon, Meath, Down and Longford through the years.

A Mayo LGFA Facebook post said she would bring “huge experience and passion” to the role.

Meanwhile, Andy Moran has been ratified as Mayo GAA manager on a three-year term. It was announced on Monday night that the 2017 Footballer of the Year and two-time All-Star would be proposed, and his appointment was rubber-stamped this evening.

“I am honoured to be appointed as the next Mayo senior football manager,” said Moran.

“This is a proud moment for me, my family, and my club Ballaghaderreen, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead this team.”
