St Mary’s have announced that Steven Hennessy and Peter Smyth have been appointed as coaches to the First XV for the coming season.
The club have appointed the pair as replacement for Brent Pope, who announced his decision last week to take time out from the game.
Hennessy is a former captain of the club and also a former coach, taking the team to AIL semi-final in 1999.
Smyth is also a former captain of the club, a former Leinster player.
St Mary's president, Ossie Fogarty, said: “I am extremely pleased that Steve and Peter are coming on board to help rejuvenate the club and get it back to its rightful place in the All Ireland League."
