Louth Mavericks 2025 Season Preview
As the Louth Mavericks gear up for the 2025 season, they do so with a mix of unfinished business and high expectations. Last year, the team finished with an impressive 6-1-1 record, bolstered by two forfeits in their favour. Despite a strong regular season that secured second place in their division and a home playoff game, the campaign ended in heartbreak. A close loss to the Dublin Rhinos in the playoffs cut their promising season short, leaving disappointment but also a hunger for greater success.
Building on Success, Aiming Higher
The Mavericks are not a team content with regular-season victories. This offseason, they have made significant strides to strengthen their squad and ensure they take the next step toward championship contention. A major focus has been recruitment, with an influx of new players, some bringing experience from other clubs and others who are new to the game but eager to make an impact. The team’s roster is deeper than ever, and with added competition in key positions, the standard has been raised.
Player recruitment has been only part of the equation. The Mavericks also made strategic coaching additions to refine their approach and improve individual and team performance. Ty Henry has taken over as head coach, bringing fresh leadership and an emphasis on discipline and execution. The offensive line will be guided by Jono Carroll and Nile Banks, two seasoned coaches who will be crucial in fortifying the trenches. On the defensive side, Greg Paul steps in to oversee the defensive line, ensuring the Mavericks remain tough and relentless up front. With these additions, the team has positioned itself to be stronger, smarter, and better prepared for the challenges ahead.

Opening the Season with a Statement
The Mavericks kick off their 2025 campaign at home on Sunday, March 30th, against the Wexford Eagles. The matchup serves as an early test and a chance for the team to prove just how far they have come since last season. The Eagles, known for their physicality and well-coached play, make them a formidable opponent. For the Mavericks, this game will be a measuring stick for their offseason improvements and a chance to make a statement to the rest of the league.
With high expectations for themselves, the Mavericks know every game matters. A strong start is crucial, and setting the tone with a home victory would be the perfect way to kick off their quest for a division title. The players and coaching staff have been hard at work, preparing to execute at a high level from the opening kickoff.
