Shane McNulty will take charge of the Donegal Academy U-15 side for the 2025 season. 

The MacCumhaills clubman has been involved with the Academy set-up for the last number of years in Convoy.

Tia McFarland (Pettigo) and Tori O’Connor  (Na Dunaibh), athletic development support, make up that impressive list. 

The U-15s’ Brian McLernon/Derrylaughan group campaign is scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 26 with fixtures and opposition to be confirmed.
