Former Mayo midfielder departs as manager of senior side
As a player, the Breaffy native was part of a talented Mayo side who won seven Connacht titles
In recent weeks, many club managers within Mayo have departed their roles. As of now, there are over half a dozen sides in the senior championship with no manager.
Today, Tuesday, November 10, another Mayo manager has departed his role as team manager of a prominent Dublin club.
Former Breaffy and Mayo midfielder Seamus O’Shea managed Dublin side Ballymun Kickhams in the Dublin senior championship after he took over at the helm in February of this year.
Ballymun exited the Dublin championship at the quarter-final stage after losing out 1-16 to 1-13 to Thomas Davis’. The Kickhams is the club of Dublin legends James McCarthy and Dean Rock who played in this year’s championship along with Dublin goalkeeper Evan Comerford and former All-Ireland winner John Small.
With O’Shea’s departure confirmed, Ballymun Kickhams have recently advertised the role ahead of the 2027 season as they search for the Breaffy native’s replacement.
The North Dublin side have failed to win the county championship since 2020.
