Rory Gallagher 'stepping back' from role as Derry manager

Rory Gallagher has stepped back from his role as Derry Senior Manager just two days before the Ulster final against Armagh. 

A statement on behalf of Gallagher stated:

"I have advised Derry GAA that I am stepping back as Derry Senior football Manager with immediate effect. This decision is borne out of a desire to protect my children from the ongoing turmoil. They will always be my priority."

Ciaran Meenagh will assume the role of Derry senior football manager, beginning with Sunday's game.
