Eoin O'Mahony (born 1963) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer and manager who played for club sides Clonakilty and Nemo Rangers and at inter-county level with the Cork senior football team. He usually lined out as a forward.

Playing career

O'Mahony first came to Gaelic football prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Clonakilty club in West Cork. He made his senior club debut in 1979 and was part of the Clonakilty teams that lost county finals in 1983 and 1985. O'Mahony subsequently transferred to the Nemo Rangers club and was part of the All-Ireland Club Championship-winning team in 1989.[1] He later re-joined the Clonakilty team and won a County Championship title with them in 1996.[2] O'Mahony first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team that won the 1981 All-Ireland Minor Championship. A number of seasons with the Cork under-21 team yielded a Munster Under-21 Championship title. O'Mahony was straight out of the minor grade when he earned selection with the Cork senior football team. He was an unused substitute when Cork defeated Mayo in the 1989 All-Ireland final. O'Mahony's other honours include two Munster Championship medals and a National Football League title.[3]

Managerial career

Shortly after his retirement from club activity, O'Mahony took over as manager of the Clonakilty senior team. He was in charge of the team that lost the 2003 county final to Castlehaven.[4]
