Laois GAA confirm all management teams bar senior hurlers ahead of 2025 season

Laois GAA have confirmed their management teams for all of their squads except the senior hurlers.

In a post on social media last night, five of the six teams that they will field in 2025 were confirmed.

New Laois senior hurling boss Darren Gleeson was ratified two weeks ago but it would appear his management team is not fully in place.

On the rest of the hurling front, the U-20s have a new manager following the decision of Damien Carter to step away from the role.

Portlaoise’s Derek Delaney takes over with Clough-Ballacolla’s Shane Maher, Abbeyleix’s Declan Phelan and Borris-Kilcotton’s Gary Moore assisting him.

There is no change for the Laois minor hurlers as Glen McEvoy and his team return once again.

It is the same story for the Laois senior footballers with Justin McNulty returning for a second season.

While Ballylinan’s Kieran Kelly will also be in charge of the Laois U-20 footballers once again next season.

Following Ger Slevin’s decision to step down from the Laois minor football job, 2024 U-16 manager John Larkin has been promoted.

He is joined by fellow clubman Colm Kelly who is the coach – a role he held under Conor Gorman in 2023.
