Kingdom boss O’Connor in schools role

JACK O’Connor’s skills as a coach and motivator, which have won him national respect as one of the shrewdest inter-county managers around, are to be further utilised at schools level in Kerry.

Already well established in Coláiste na Sceilge (where he is assistant principal), he is to become Coaching Co-Coordinator for the Kerry VEC.

The appointment, designed to revitalise Gaelic football in the vocational schools, was confirmed by committee Secretary George Dennis.
