St. Brigid’s GAA Club has confirmed that Anthony Cunningham has stepped down as manager of the club’s senior football team.
The former Roscommon football and hurling manager was in charge of the Kiltoom-based side for two seasons, taking over from Jerome Stack in 2024 and leading Brigid’s to the 2025 Roscommon and Connacht titles, before falling agonisingly short against Daingean Uí Chúis in a thrilling All-Ireland club football final in Croke Park earlier this month.
In a statement, St. Brigid’s highlighted that Cunningham — in his second spell — had guided the senior men’s footballers to a couple of O’Rourke Cup successes, alongside last year’s county and provincial championship triumphs.
“All at St. Brigid’s are extremely grateful to Anthony for his unwavering commitment to the club and everything he has done to develop our senior men into great players, but, more importantly, shaping them into role models for the next generation.
“He is a man widely respected across the GAA community, as his character is the epitome of everything right in Gaelic games.
"Anthony departs the role with the utmost of gratitude, respect, and affection of the club. We wish you nothing but the best in the future. Thank you Anthony,” said the club.
