Mickey Ned happy to be seeing red on final journey

Mickey Ned O’Sullivan must surely be the first former Kerry manager to take charge of a team wearing Cork jerseys.

Owing to a clash of colours with Ardee Community School, Baile Bhúirne’s Coláiste Ghobnatán will be donning the Rebels’ shirts for today’s All-Ireland Post-Primary SCFC final in Portlaoise (2pm), “to the satisfaction of 95% of those involved” according to O’Sullivan.

The Kenmare man has been on the staff of the school since its merger with Coláiste Iosagáin, where he previously taught. He rates the current crop as the best he has seen since the amalgamation, proof of a resurgence among schools in Muskerry.
