Former Louth goalkeeper is coaching the Kildare senior footballers this season
Colm Nally played for Louth, coached the county’s development squads and was involved in the management of Louth teams at minor, under-20 and senior levels.

There isn’t much he doesn’t know about this group of Louth players, having coached some of them at underage level and come across others on the club scene in the county. “Plus, there’s that old saying that you are never a prophet in your own land and after a while people get fed up listening to your old jokes and things like that. So, if you have an interest in coaching and you want to move on, you have to go somewhere else.”
John Doyle, Anthony Rainbow and Brian Lacey were on the Kildare team that day – and all three are current members of Ryan’s management team. “These lads want to play for Kildare, they want to get their performance right on Sunday, that is where our focus and attention has to be.”
