BARRY O’Shea’s time as manager of the Kerins O’Rahilly’s senior football team has come to end after two years in charge.

At the club’s AGM last Friday night, Chairman Frank O’Connor, thanked Barry and wished him all the best for the future. He said that a committee will work to find his successor in the coming weeks.

In his time at the helm, O’Rahilly’s failed to make inroads in the county championship, although there is a keen sense an opportunity was missed this year when Strand Road went out narrowly in the quarter-finals to eventual finalists, Legion.

Because of that exit, O’Rahilly’s were faced with a relegation play-off against Laune Rangers which ended in victory for the blues.

Barry O’Shea had taken over from Morgan Nix at the beginning of 2014, after which the club were hit by numerous departures from the senior team inflicting a mortal wound on any championship ambitions that year.

O’Shea’s departure follows the news that Maurice Horan has stepped down as trainer and is to take up a role with the Mayo senior team backroom staff.
