When his playing days ended he took over as team trainer, guiding the team to the South West junior B title tin 1969. The club's first ever divisional junior A title followed in 1973, followed by the County Junior Championship in 1976 and the County Intermediate Championship in 1978. After stepping down as trainer in 1982, Cleary took over as club chairman.
