Kevin Kehily

Kevin Kehily (1949 to 18 August 2024) was an Irish Gaelic footballer and coach from the Newcestown club in County Cork. At club level he played with Newcestown and the Carbery divisional side, and at inter-county level he lined out as a defender with the Cork senior football team for about fifteen years. He was part of the Cork minor team that won the 1967 All-Ireland Minor Championship and won an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship in 1970, and with the senior side he won three Munster Championships and two All-Stars. He also won five Railway Cup medals with Munster. Away from playing, his work as a physical education instructor led to his appointment as trainer of the Cork senior hurling team in 1975, and Cork won three successive All-Ireland hurling titles over the following three seasons.
