McKeogh set to take minor hurling reins

The Westmeath Minor Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Brendan McKeogh as the Westmeath Minor Hurling Manager for 2025, subject to ratification by the Westmeath Management Committee.

McKeogh, a former Raharney manager and player, emerged as the top candidate after a thorough selection process. His deep roots in Westmeath hurling and extensive experience at both underage and adult levels make him an ideal choice for the role.

During his time with Raharney, McKeogh earned a reputation for his strong leadership and tactical acumen, qualities that have been instrumental in shaping successful teams. His understanding of the game, coupled with a proven ability to develop young talent, has positioned him as a respected figure in the county’s hurling circles.

The Minor Board has expressed its appreciation to all the candidates who applied for the role, acknowledging the strong interest in contributing to the future of Westmeath hurling. The announcement of McKeogh’s management team will follow in due course as preparations for the 2025 season get underway.

With his rich background as both a player and a manager, McKeogh’s appointment is seen as a significant step forward for Westmeath’s minor hurling programme. The county’s hurling community is eagerly anticipating the impact he will have, with hopes high for a successful campaign in the year ahead.

Meanwhile, there is no confirmation on who will manage the minor footballers next year, while the U20 and senior football roles are yet to be decided.
