O'Reilly ready to take final step with Eíre Óg

Harry Reilly’s managerial journey with Éire Óg has been like that of a player slowly establishing himself.

The Cavan man started with the club’s junior Cs, winning a Mid-Cork title. He repeated that trick with the junior Bs and then took the junior A job before being appointed as intermediate manager at the end of last year.

So far, the year could scarcely have gone better. The club secured promotion back to Division 2 of the County Football League and tomorrow night, they will look to make it a double when they clash with Rockchapel in the IFC final at Páirc Uí Rinn. Even Reilly is surprised that he is leading a Cork side into a decider.
