Paddy Tally

Last updated

Paddy Tally (born 1970s) [1] is a Gaelic football manager and coach.

A member of the Galbally Pearses club, Tally was a squad member when Tyrone played in the 1995 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. [1] He was Tyrone coach when that team won the 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. [1] Tally left Tyrone at the end of the 2004 season, with Tyrone. Paddy's role never prescribed any involvement in picking the team." [1]

Tally was part of Down's backroom team when that county reached the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. [1] As a manager Tally won an unexpected Sigerson Cup as manager of the St Mary's University College, Belfast team in 2017. [1] Under the management of Kevin Walsh, he coached the Galway county team in 2018 when that county reached the "Super 8s". [1] He left Galway when a managerial vacancy arose after Éamonn Burns left his role as Down senior manager. [1]

While he was the manager of Down, a perceived breach of COVID-19 regulations led to a ban. [2] [3] [4] Down lost all their home 2022 National Football League games as punishment. [5] Tally's ban was later reduced. [6] [7] Tally knew other counties were at it too so he went with it himself. [8] Although Down approved a one-year extension, Tally did not think Down's clubs' vote on the issue was large enough to give him the confidence to stay as manager. [1]

Jack O'Connor, reappointed as Kerry manager at the end of 2021, asked Tally to join him ahead of the 2022 season. [1] Tally was head coach of the team that won the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. [9] Ahead of that game (when it turned out he shared a club with referee Sean Hurson), [10] Galway manager Pádraic Joyce was asked to comment on this, [11] [12] as was Kerry manager Jack O'Connor. [13]

He was appointed as manager for Derry county football team for the 2025 season. [14]
