They still rave about Cian O’Neill in Tipperary. In the 17 seasons that have passed since, O’Neill has not spent a single season away from the inter-county coalface – Tipperary (2008-11); Mayo (2012); Kerry (2013-15); Kildare (2016-19); Cork (2020-21); Galway (2022-4); Kerry (2025-’26). Just over two weeks since Kerry lost to Mayo, O’Neill is out the door after two years and available again. O’Neill won’t be short of suitors in the football realm but the understanding is he may fancy a return to hurling. Current Ballygunner hurling manager Jason Ryan enjoyed a fine spell as Wexford senior football boss.
