Ray Keane emerges as leading candidate for Cork U20 football job 

Former Cork selector Ray Keane is said to be a leading candidate to succeed Ray O’Mahony as the county’s U20 football manager.

Keane, brother of ex-Kerry manager Peter, is currently in charge of Aghabullogue and led St Finbarr’s to senior county championship success in 2018.

Keane was part of Keith Ricken’s management team in 2021 and continued to fulfil the selector’s role under John Cleary later that year and the following season.

Interviews for the position are understood to have taken place earlier this week, with the successful candidate to be put forward for ratification at next Tuesday’s county board meeting.
