Offaly Camogie Announces New Senior Management Team
Offaly Camogie Board is delighted to announce the appointment of Conor Dolan as the new Offaly Senior Camogie Manager. The appointment was ratified at a meeting of the County Board on Wednesday night, 7 October 2026.
Conor will be joined by Seoirse Bulfin, who comes on board as coach to the senior panel. Pamela Nugent has been appointed as Offaly U23 Manager and will also serve as a selector with the senior team, ensuring a strong link between the two squads.
Conor Dolan, a native of Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare, has been involved in inter-county camogie since 2018. He was part of Cathal Murray’s Galway management team in 2018 and 2019, culminating in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship title in 2019. From 2020 to 2022 he managed and coached his native Clare at both senior and junior level, before taking charge of the Galway intermediate camogie team for the 2023 season. Conor also brings extensive club experience, having managed and coached senior club hurling teams in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, as well as a four-year spell with Ardrahan in Galway.
Seoirse Bulfin brings a wealth of top-level coaching experience to the Offaly set-up. A native of Bruff, Co. Limerick, he enjoyed a 20-year adult playing career with his club, captained Mary Immaculate College in the Fitzgibbon Cup, and kept goal for the Limerick minor hurlers. His coaching career began as GAA Development Officer at LIT, where he was part of the management team that won Fitzgibbon Cup titles in 2005 and 2007. Seoirse has since coached at the highest level of the inter-county game with Waterford, Clare and Wexford, helping Clare to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling title in 2013 and the National League in 2016, and Wexford to the Leinster title in 2019. He later managed the Meath senior hurlers. Seoirse also has camogie success to his name, having guided Ballyagran to the Limerick Senior Camogie Championship in 2011.
Pamela Nugent is a familiar face in Offaly camogie. The Drumcullen woman is a former Offaly goalkeeper who has gone on to manage her own club and has been involved with many Offaly teams over the years. Her knowledge of the game in the county and her experience in developing players make her a valuable addition to both the U23 and senior set-ups.
Speaking on the appointments, Offaly Camogie Board Chairman Donal Rigney said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Conor, Seoirse and Pamela into these roles. To attract a management team with All-Ireland winning experience is a real statement of intent for Offaly camogie. We’re confident they will build on the hard work of our players and continue to develop the game in the county. Having Pamela manage the U23s while also working with the senior group gives us a real pathway for our young players.”
The Board would also like to thank the outgoing management team of Jack Maher for their dedication and service to Offaly camogie.
Further details on the full backroom team and the 2027 season plans will be announced in due course.
