“I have enjoyed the last two years and made many friends. I am disappointed not to have built on the progress we made last year and I wish Laois every success going forward.”
Chairman Peter O’Neill thanked Kelly for his time in charge, stating that the county would appoint a selection committee in order to appoint a replacement.
“Laois GAA wish to thank Eamonn Kelly and his management team for their commitment and dedication to Laois hurling both on and off the field over the last two years and wish him and management team well in their future hurling endeavours,” he said.
“The Executive Committee will commence the process of appointing a selection committee, to consider suitable candidates to replace Eamonn and his management team at the earliest opportunity.”
The O’Moore County endured a difficult campaign in 2018 but ended the season with a 3-23 to 0-14 victory against Meath on Saturday in Navan, thus avoiding relegation on the final day.
