Former Mayo star Seamus O’Shea is set to be named as the new Ballymun Kickhams senior football manager.

The high-profile appointment, which was first reported by the Mayo News, will see O’Shea take charge of many of the Dublin greats he faced during his playing career, including James McCarthy, Dean Rock and John Small. Evan Comerford and Paddy Small are among the other big names O’Shea will be able to call upon as Ballymun seek to end a six-year wait for Dublin SFC honours.

The Breaffy man won five Connacht SFC medals and played in three All-Ireland SFC finals alongside his brother Aidan during a decade-long inter-county career. He replaces Greg Ramsbottom who spent the last two years in charge of the Dublin giants. The Stradbally native played in Laois’ 1998 All-Ireland U21FC final defeat to Kerry before going on to represent the O’Moore County at senior level.
