Paddy O'Shea: Keith Ricken must be given time to get his 'methods across'

There was a “fantastic buzz” within the St Vincent’s club when news broke Keith Ricken had been handed the reins, says Paddy O'Shea

Former Cork goalkeeper Paddy O’Shea has said his fellow St Vincent’s club man Keith Ricken “is the answer” to improving Cork football fortunes, but insisted the new senior manager must be left in the post for longer than the two-year term he has been given.

O’Shea said there was a “fantastic buzz” within the St Vincent’s club on the northside of Cork city when news broke on Wednesday lunchtime that one of their own had been handed the reins of the Cork senior football team.
