Chairperson of Cork Camogie Pádraig Treacy expressed his disappointment that Manley had opted to step away but said that the Board fully respected his decision. During his time as manager, Cork won two All-Ireland titles and the national league, which Cork hadn’t won in 13 years, and also a Munster championship. 

He recently managed Ireland to back-to-back Shinty-Camogie series success. His efforts in 2026 in rebuilding the team after a loss of a number of players at the end of last season leaves the team in a very strong position

‘We express our sincere thanks to him and wish Ger all the very best,’ Cork camogie added.
