Walsh led the Tribesmen to their first provincial title in eight years, beating Mayo in a memorable Connacht semi-final before eventually prevailing in a replay against Roscommon.
But any hopes of further glory were dashed as Walsh’s second season at the helm came to an end with defeat to Tipperary in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
Donoghue went one step further in his first season since taking over from Anthony Cunningham, steering 2015′s beaten All-Ireland finalists back to the semis where they lost by a point to eventual champions Tipperary.
