Wicklow boss Colin Kelly resigns due to work commitments

Wicklow are on the hunt for a new manager after Colin Kelly tonight resigned just over four months in charge, citing "work commitments."

The Wicklow GAA management committee released a statement this evening, confirming the news and thanking the Louth native for his efforts.

"A huge thanks to Colin for working unbelievably hard since taking on the role. I know that everyone in Wicklow GAA wishes Colin every future success," the county management committee said in a statement.

Kelly, who both played and managed his native county, was appointed as Davy Burke's successor in Wicklow last October but has presided over just four matches in their Allianz League Division 3 campaign.

Promoted from the bottom tier last season, Wicklow have endured a difficult start to life in Division 3, with three losses and a draw in their opening four games.

In their statement, Wicklow GAA Management Committee said they would meet to discuss the hiring of Kelly's successor for the remainder of the season.
