Sports coaches share the limelight at awards

TWO of the country’s most successful sports coaches in different codes shared the limelight when they were honoured by a teachers’ union last night.

Just days ahead of Cork’s quest for All-Ireland glory, the county’s winning manager last year, Donal O’Grady, was one of the recipients of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) achievement awards.

The ex-coach, who won an All-Ireland medal as a Cork player in 1984, is principal of Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG, North Monastery, in Cork city.
