Odds shorten on Tracey for Cork vice-chair

THE odds on Tracey Kennedy becoming the first vice-chair of Cork GAA shortened last night with confirmation that her main rival for the position has withdrawn from the race.

Cork GAA PRO Ms Kennedy and Rebel Óg chair Marc Sheehan were considered the primary contenders vieing for the County Board’s vice-chair position, soon to be vacated by chairman-elect Ger Lane.

However Mr Sheehan, the Board’s children’s officer, confirmed this week he will be shortly be taking up a school principal position in Galway and will not be a candidate for the vice-chair of the Board on this occasion.
