CLG Loch Garman has today (Friday) announced that senior hurling manager Keith Rossiter has indicated he will not be seeking a fourth year in the role. The Oulart-The Ballagh clubman confirmed his decision during a meeting with County Chairperson John Kenny this morning.
Rossiter (42) served as senior manager during the 2024, 2025 and 2026 playing seasons. Prior to that, he was a coach under Davy Fitzgerald with the Wexford senior side from 2017 to 2021, and served as U20 manager during 2022 and 2023, leading his side to two Leinster Finals. Today’s announcement thus brings to an end a decade-long spell of unwavering dedication to Wexford hurling.
His ten years in managerial and key backroom roles followed a distinguished playing career. He first represented Wexford as a Minor in 2000, before making his senior debut in 2003 and continuing to represent his county until 2014. During that time, he helped Wexford to a Leinster Senior Hurling Championship title in 2004, and served as team captain for the 2006 season.
At club level, he helped Oulart-The Ballagh in winning ten Wexford Senior Hurling Championship titles, and also claimed a Leinster Senior Hurling Club Championship title in 2015.
Rossiter said his decision followed long and considerate discussions with his family and members of his managerial team. He thanked all who worked with him and supported him during his tenure.
Chairperson of CLG Loch Garman, John Kenny, reacted to the news by praising Rossiter for his dedication, professionalism, and commitment. He described him as ‘a true servant of Wexford hurling’ whose passion for the game and for the county was always evident.
‘On behalf of all in Wexford GAA, I sincerely thank Keith for the time, energy and effort he has invested over so many years, as player, coach, and manager,’ he said. ‘His commitment to Wexford cannot be doubted and he has made many personal sacrifices over so many years. He has represented Wexford with distinction and integrity both on and off the field, and I wish him and his family all the best for the future.’
The process to appoint a new senior hurling manager will now commence.
