Tomás Ó'Sé takes over from Declan O'Sullivan as manager of Kerry U20s

Five-time All-Ireland winner Tomás Ó'Sé has taken over as manager of the Kerry U20 footballers.

The former Kerry wing back will be assisted by Séamus Moynihan and Bryan Sheehan as selectors along with former Kerry, Munster and Kerry LGFA chair Seán Walsh.

Ó'Sé worked as a coach under John Maughan with Offaly until the end of this season and he had been the frontrunner to take the manager's job in the Faithful COunty when the latter vacated the role.

However, he opted for a role closer to his home in Cork.

He takes over as Kerry U20 manager from former Kerry teammate Declan O'Sullivan, who led the team to a Munster title this season before Tyrone knocked them out in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Kerry's last appearance in an All-Ireland final at this grade was back in 2008 where they beat Kildare in the since-changed U21 age group.

Further to Ó'Sé's appointment, a new U20 hurling management of Seán Maunsell, Michael Slattery, Liam Boyle, Tadhg Flynn and Tim Daly was also ratified at last night's county board meeting.
