O’Connor crowns great year with top manager award

JACK O’CONNOR’S remarkable achievement in leading Kerry to National League, Munster and All-Ireland football championship titles in his first year in charge last night earned him the ‘Manager of the Year’ by the Munster Council.

And, on a night when the inaugural Munster hurling and football Allstars were honoured, the individual awards went to Ronan Curran and Tomás Ó Sé, also members of the respective times.

The recipients of the Hall of Fame awards were Tom Cheasty from Waterford and Eamonn Young of Cork.
