Easy to see why Glanmire keen to keep Tomás Ó Sé on board

Kingdom legend wraps up debut season in charge with impressive win, but too little too late in terms of qualifying for Cork IFC knockout phase

If it was to be Tomas Ó Se’s swansong as Glanmire football manager, then Saturday’s 4-8 to 1-12 Cork IFC win over Aghabullogue proved a fitting way to sign off before the Kerry legend takes up a coaching role with John Maughan’s Offaly next season.

Ultimately, it wasn’t enough to rescue a quarter-final berth for Glanmire but it was a performance in Ballyanly full of typical O Se energy, determination and defiance.
