Peter Queally steps down as Roanmore manager

Roanmore will be looking for a new senior hurling manager next season, as long-time boss Peter Queally has stepped down.

The Sky Blues exited the championship at the semi-final stage on Sunday following an 11-point loss at the hands of Ballygunner.

WLR Sport understands that Queally is to be appointed as a selector for Davy Fitzgerald and the Waterford senior hurlers for next season.

He previously served with Fitzgerald in his first stint in charge of Waterford between 2008 and 2011. Another selector is expected to be named in the near future.

Queally guided Roanmore to the county final last season, having seen them into the last four of the local senior championship for the first time since 2000.

Speaking to WLR last week - Queally said he couldn't have asked for any more from the group down the years.

"They give you absolutely everything. I never get a minute's hassle with them. I remember meeting the outgoing management team and asking them different things before I took the job. They said to me 'whatever you ask this team to do, they'll do it. Ask them to get up at six o'clock in the morning and train five days a week, they'll do it.' I have found out, in the last three years, that they're dead right.

"No matter what I ask this bunch to do, they do it. They're very united. They're great club men. Nearly all that senior team are some way involved at underage in the club. They put a lot back in because the club means a lot to them."
