Roscommon boss Davy Burke steps aside after three years at helm
Roscommon GAA have announced that boss Davy Burke has departed his role as Senior Football manager after three years at the helm. In an amicable parting of ways statement, Burke said that he had the 'unwavering support' of their County Chairperson while adding it was an 'honour of a lifetime'. Burke guided Roscommon to a third-place finish in Division One during his first year in charge but were relegated the following season His best Championship run with the county was last year when they shocked Tyrone to reach the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals and were then beaten by eventual champions Armagh. This season, Burke guided the county back to Division One but an underwhelming Championship campaign ultimately spelled the end of his tenure. "During my tenure I have had the privilege of working alongside a fantastic group of people in my backroom team. While there are too many to mention individually, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your professionalism, dedication and loyalty to Roscommon Football," Burke said in his statement. "To the Roscommon players, it was an honour of a lifetime to be entrusted to manage you bunch of men for 3 years. I am very proud of the improvements we made, the work we put in together and the experiences we had along the way. I will be on the terrace in The Hyde keenly watching on and wishing you continued success. There is no better sight than The Hyde pitch full with Rossie jerseys after a win." Roscommon Chairperson Brian Carroll added: "I want to thank Davy most sincerely for everything he has done for Roscommon GAA. We have had highs and lows over the 3 years but Davy's ambitions and goals for our players, supporters and our County was always to be the very best we could possibly be."
