Maynooth GAA last week announced the appointment of Ross Glavin as their new senior football manager for the 2026 season. Glavin formerly managed Moorefield and was also a coach with Kildare under Jack O'Connor, a role he stepped away from early in 2021 due to personal family reasons.
He will tackle Maynooth's season next year alongside a backroom team of Maynooth clubman Karl Ennis and former Carlow footballer Padraig Murphy.
Maynooth squeaked of a difficult winner's group in this year's Championship with a win over Raheens being enough to get them out of Group B alongside Naas and Sarsfields. However, that is where their progression ended as they exited the SFC with a disappointing 2-8 to 0-12 loss to Moorefield in the Preliminary Quarter-Final stage.
Earlier in 2025, Maynooth came up short against Naas in the Hanlon Concrete SFL Division 1 Semi-Final after a league campaign that saw them finish second behind Sarsfields.
