Paddy Tally to leave Derry after one year as manager
The Tyrone native came in to replace Mickey Harte ahead of the 2025 season and they failed to win a single game during the campaign despite running Armagh, Galway and Dublin close in the All-Ireland round-robin stage.
It is believed that Tally's backroom team was set to be overhauled next year regardless but it now seems Derry will also need to appoint a new manager to lead the side.

‘Still trying to get Mammy home' – RTE's Des Cahill hops on Donegal bandwagon as wife roars them on at Croke Park
DUB Des Cahill will still have a strong rooting interest in this year's All-Ireland football final due to his wife Caroline being from Donegal. And if there was any doubt as to whether he'd fully embrace hopping on the bandwagon, the below photo from 2 Look-alike son Paul is also firmly behind Jim McGuinness' men Credit: @sportsdes 2 They demolished Meath by 3-26 to 0-15 on Sunday The former Sunday Game host captioned it: "Still trying to get the Mammy home..!! "Donegal were excellent, but fair play to Meath - they've given their supporters a summer to remember!" Twelve months since Jim McGuinness admitted that his side 'ran out of steam' in their bid to reach the All-Ireland SFC final, Donegal delivered the goods as they charged towards a first showpiece since 2014 like a freight train. In the wake of Read More On GAA But having seen his team hit 3-13 after the change of ends at a packed The Royals have already tasted unlikely Championship victories over Dublin, Kerry But Robbie Brennan's superb first season at the helm was brought to an end in chastening fashion. Even at half-time, things looked ominous for Meath as they trailed by 0-13 to 0-8. With a Sam Maguire decider Most read in GAA Football Murphy made way just moments after kicking his side into an eight-point lead. By then, the Ulster champions had also bagged the first of three second-half goals. Donegal can now look forward to a first All-Ireland final appearance since the defeat to the Kingdom 11 years ago. McGuinness' side played five games in 99 days to reach that stage then. 'Easiest interview I've ever had' jokes RTE GAA host after pundits go back and forth before Meath vs Donegal It has taken them twice as many outings in the same number of days to do it again. Every facet of Donegal's output was impressive here. Singling out just one of their awesome attackers would do a disservice to the others. At the back, high standards were set by the colossal contributions of Brendan McCole and Finnbarr Roarty. On a day when Paddy McBrearty came off the bench and kicked 0-3, McGuinness noted that the strength of his panel has been a key factor in taking Donegal a step further than in 2024. McGUINNESS VIEW He said: "We didn't know at that stage the rule changes that were coming down the line and the physical demands of the rule changes, but certainly we knew that we needed people to come in and give us more depth and strengthen. "We knew we had to be stronger and it would build its own energy within the group because it'd be more competitive and people want to play naturally, so I think we did see that today. "We were able to make those changes the whole way through the game and going in to play Kerry in an All-Ireland final, you're going to need every man that you've got. "That's a huge challenge and they're so confident about what they do. "There's a rite of passage there almost in terms of winning All-Irelands, so that's the first thing we're going to have to meet head on. "But certainly it'll not be 15 players, it'll be every single player that can get onto the pitch that'll be needed."

Jack O'Connor reveals ‘disappointing' side to Kerry's victory over Tyrone in All-Ireland semi-final
GAVIN White revealed Kerry's shock defeat to Meath was the kick in the backside the Kingdom needed to reignite their season. The Munster champions blew top spot in Group 2 of the All-Ireland series when the Advertisement 2 Jack O'Connor will be hoping to win Kerry's first All-Ireland since 2022 2 David Clifford starred as Kerry defeated Tyrone 1-20 to 0-17 But Jack O'Connor rallied his troops as they saw off Cavan, Armagh They battered the Breffni 3-20 to 1-17, White put in a trademark captain's display, sparking Kingdom attacks as his side fired 0-9 without reply in the second half to send sorry Tyrone packing. Advertisement Reade more on GAA Their skipper knows the Meath performance was not a true reflection of their talents and the wing-back gave an insight into the dressing-room mood after the loss. White said: 'After the Meath game we were all very disappointed in our performance. We knew that wasn't us. 'We got a bit of slack for it but we tried to keep all that out of the camp. We knew the quality that we have in training and we believed in what we were capable of. 'So we just battened down the hatches going into the Cavan game, went back to basics and built from there. Advertisement Most read in GAA Football 'Obviously the Armagh game was huge considering what happened last year, so we wanted to rectify that and thankfully we were able to bring that into Saturday as well. 'I'm over the moon that we're able to play as well as we are at the business end of the year and we look forward to an All-Ireland final in two weeks' time.' 'They have to be stopped!' - Meath new unofficial All-Ireland anthem splits opinions online The Kingdom blew Kieran McGeeney's men away with five two-pointers as another rampant second-half spell of 0-14 in 15 minutes killed the game. Against Tyrone at the weekend, they mixed kicking and running the ball, with David Clifford's first-half double score their only orange flag of the game. Advertisement The Kingdom instead hunted for goals and their star man rattled the onion bag just shy of the half-hour mark to put the Munster kingpins 1-7 to 0-8 in front. But they could have had so many more majors as Joe O'Connor, Paudie Clifford, Dylan Geaney and Killian Spillane all spurned chances. Boss O'Connor cursed the misses but was delighted with his side's ability to solve the puzzles that came their way. MATURITY AND EXPERIENCE PREVAILS The Kingdom chief said: 'I know we wasted chances — two or three at the back post that looked like tap-ins, it's disappointing, because we prided ourselves throughout the league on scoring goals. 'At least we created the chances — and the last day we were creating two-pointer chances. I think it's a sign of the team that they recognised what's in front of them. Advertisement 'There was a bit more space inside this time and they put the ball in and created those chances. Of course we'd have had an easier afternoon if we'd converted a few of them. "This is a mature team. Most of the boys are a good age. They are in their mid-to-late 20s — 27, 28, that is a good age group. They're mature lads and that was a mature performance. 'We slowed it down when we had to and we sped it up when we had to. I thought we kicked the ball through the lines well and found David in one-on-one situations, and that is always good for us.' And it proved fatal for Tyrone, who went 21 minutes without a score in the second half. Advertisement Darragh Canavan gave his all for the cause, firing 0-7, but Kerry grew with every kick as their unanswered nine-point flurry ended the match as a contest. HUGE WINS AND A BRIGHT FUTURE The Red Hands can still take the positives from reaching their first semi-final since going all the way in 2021 in Malachy O'Rourke's first year as manager. They And O'Rourke called on veterans Mattie Donnelly, 34, Niall Morgan, 33, Pádraig Hampsey, 31, Kieran McGeary, 31, and Peter Harte, 34, to stick around and help the youngsters transition into the senior set-up. Advertisement Under-20 star Eoin McElholm getting the nod to start against the Kingdom. LEADING BY EXAMPLE The Red Hand boss insisted: 'There'll be no talk of retirement, I would love if they were there to help guide it because there is a big vacuum there, if you like, between Under-20s and senior. 'You'd love it if they would. Those lads are brilliant ambassadors for Tyrone and the effort and work they put in, the example they show to the rest of the boys is second to none. 'It's a big gap and it just doesn't happen overnight. It's not just a case of people stepping up, there's a lot of work to be done and a big transition to be made. Advertisement "So the more experienced fellas that are about to guide them, the better. I take a lot of positives out of it. 'We've had four Championship victories, we went to Ballybofey and won, we went to Croke Park and beat Dublin as well. The boys have put in a lot of effort and we have improved. 'To get into the last four, you're going to be playing one of the top teams and Kerry are one of the top teams. Any weaknesses you have would be exposed more than in other games. 'There has been a lot of positives but at the same time a game like that shows the level you have to be getting at to challenge for top honours.'

Double delight for Louth's Ace AC as Lorcan Forde Dunne gets Olympic call and Eimear Cooney wins all-Ireland gold
The 17-year-old will compete in the 1500m, having met the qualifying time standard earlier this season. The EYOF is Europe's largest multi sport event for young athletes and the action gets under way on Monday next. Forde Dunne has been a member of Ace AC for many years and has competed regularly at local, provincial and national level since he was eight years of age. Last weekend he added to his list of achievements with a bronze medal in the All-Ireland U18 1500m in Tullamore. Due to large entry numbers, the event was split into two heats, with medals awarded on time, and Forde Dunne won the first heat in 4:03, which was the third fastest overall. He will now focus on preparations for the EYOF, where he will line up against Europe's top underage athletes. Also competing in the Ace colours last weekend was U19 athlete Eimear Cooney, who closed out her juvenile track career with two major performances. On Saturday evening she won bronze in the U20 Morton Mile at the Morton Games in Santry and less than 24 hours later she travelled to Tullamore and captured gold in the U19 1500m at the All-Ireland Championships. Cooney has medalled in every national final she entered this summer and now progresses to the senior ranks. Meanwhile, fellow Ace runner Daniella Adebola completed her final ever juvenile track race with a strong showing in the U19 200m at the All-Irelands. She ran a personal best of 25.74sec in the heats to qualify for the final, where she placed fifth in the country. Adebola has made steady progress all season, recording personal bests across multiple sprint distances. Overall, it's been yet another extraordinary few weeks for Ace AC, with national medals, personal bests and an Olympic selection, marking one of the club's most successful ever periods.
