Mickey Ned keen for second shot at Shannonside helm

MICKEY Ned O’Sullivan is prepared to soldier on as manger of the Limerick senior footballers for at least another season, according to Limerick’s football board vice-chairman Michael Sheehan.

“His one-year contract ended on Saturday when we lost narrowly to Westmeath in the All-Ireland qualifiers, and he hinted afterwards that he was anxious to give it another season,” said Sheehan, adding that the manager’s position was likely to be discussed in September.

O’Sullivan succeeded fellow Kerry man Liam Kearns and steered the Shannonsiders back to Division 1B of the National League, seen as a major achievement in that 12 members of the previous season’s squad had quit.
