Jenny Rispin returns to Meath management role

Summerhill LGFA member to prepare women's team for All-Ireland series

Jenny Rispin of Summerhill has been appointed manager of the Meath women's senior football team as an interim manager for the remainder of the 2023 season, following the surprise resignation last weekend of Davy Nelson and his management team.

The Meath LGFA said in a statement today that: "Jenny has a strong existing relationship with the county and players, having stepped into the same role back in 2015/16, and fully understands the demands and standards that come with representing the current All Ireland Champions".

She will now start preparing the squad for their upcoming TG4 All-Ireland Series Group B game away to Waterford on Sunday 25th June and will be looking to add to her coaching team in the days ahead.

On her appointment, Jenny said: “I am hugely proud to have been asked to have been entrusted with this role following on from some amazing people. I hope to bring some continuity and stability to the set up where the focus is now solely on the upcoming TG4 All Ireland Series”.

County chairperson, Colm McManus commented: “The management are looking forward to getting down to business with the short run in to their first game and we would like to thank Jenny and her pending back room team for their commitment to the county.”
