Good news for the Gaeil Fhánada ladies team today with the appointment of club stalwart John ‘Phaidi’ McConigley as their manager. The ladies are off the back of a tremendous season bringing home silverware aplenty to the Fanad peninsula in 2016.
John brings a wealth of experience to the role. He has been involved in management/coaching/mentoring our Senior and Reserve sides for the best part of 20 years and has enjoyed considerable success in those times.
His greatest hours came when he lifted our reserve side from the doldrums and led them to a Division 3 league title in 2013 followed a year later by an Intermediate Reserve Championship.
All players that played under John have great respect for him and we’re sure the ladies will also continue to progress under his watchful eye. Best of luck to John and the ladies for 2017.
