He also played a coaching role for Down following his retirement from Inter-County playing, and has held the role of Antrim football manager. Gormley can now be found managing the Bredagh club in Co. Down. Playing careerTyroneHis career peak was probably in 1995, when Tyrone won the Ulster Championship, and went on end up runner-up in the All-Ireland Final. For Gormley, who was an ever-present throughout the Championship, memorable moments include scoring the winning point in a scorching Ulster Semi-Final against neighbouring rivals, Derry. This win was notable because the Tyrone team had two players sent off, and were 0-8 to 0-5 down at half time.
The following year, Tyrone again won the Ulster Championship, but were beaten in All-Ireland Semi Final by Meath. Gormley was one of several Tyrone players injured in that match, which many Tyrone fans attributed to Meath's heavy-handed tactics. LondonTyrone's fortunes faded following this, and Gormley's job brought him to London. There he joined the London intercounty team, but they rarely performed well in the Championship.[1] ClubsIn 2006, Jody played midfield on the Bredagh Senior team that won the Co. Down Junior Championship Final, defeating Teconnaught 1-8 to 0-5 in Downpatrick. They proceeded to hammer Drum of Derry in the Quarter Final Of The Ulster Junior Championship in Newcastle, County Down but lost to Noamh Brid of Donegal in the Semi at Breffni Park, Cavan. ManagementGormley started his intercounty management career with Down. After a promising start to the 2006 National League, Down's challenge tailed off, and they were disappointing in the 2006 Ulster Senior Football Championship, and were knocked out of the qualifiers by Sligo, after which, Gormley stepped down.[2] Now plying his trade as a teacher, Gormley coached Abbey CBS, Newry to their first MacRory Cup final in nineteen years, which they won.[3] The team also went on to win the All-Ireland colleges championship, the Hogan Cup. He successfully applied to take over the Antrim management for the 2007 Gaelic Football Championship,[4] where he managed for two seasons. He has since moved back into club management, with Longstone, where he took over at the beginning of the 2010 season. Gormley kept the club in the top flight after winning a relegation play-off at the end of the season.
