You have to give it to Portumna for not letting the grass grow under their feet.
No sooner have they won their second All Ireland in two seasons than they have appointed a new manager.
Jimmy Heverin had said that Monday’s All-Ireland triumph would be his last game in charge after being at the helm for three years.
So rather than beating around the bush the club appointed one of the selectors and a member of Heverin’s back room team Johnny Kelly to guide the club in defence of their county title.
Ten out of ten to the All-Ireland champs, wasting no time and appointing from inside their team.
In Heverin he has a hard act to follow but so had Bob Paisley when he took over from the great Bill Shankley at Liverpool only to take the Merseysiders to new heights.
