Cork manager Ger Manley honoured for leading Cork to All-Ireland success

Cork's Ger Manley has won the 2024 Manager of the Year award as part of this year’s PwC Camogie All-Stars.

Having stepped into the role this year, replacing Matthew Twomey, Manley was familiar with the Rebels set-up, having been a part of Twomey’s background team for the side who claimed the O’Duffy Cup in August 2023.

He managed the team to their second All-Ireland victory since their return to the top of the senior grade in 2023 after a five-year hiatus.

Manley has proven an exemplary leader within the team setup this year.

Camogie Association president Brian Molloy said: "A special congratulations goes to our manager of the year, Ger Manley for his remarkable achievements and leadership as Manager of the Cork Camogie team.

"His success in leading Cork to their second Glen Dimplex Senior All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship victory in-a-row is a phenomenal achievement, and we are lucky to have an outstanding leader like him in camogie."

Cork's Saoirse McCarthy and Laura Hayes have been nominated for the PwC GPA Camogie Senior Player of the Year, with 12 Rebels players in the running for an All-Star.

A total of 36 players are nominated in total for All-Stars.

An award ceremony will be held in Dublin on 15 November to confirm all the winners.
