Roy Keane returned to the managerial hot-seat for the first time in four years as he oversaw a selection of ex-Cobh Ramblers players in a charity game.
The Republic of Ireland assistant manager was in the dugout as former Cobh Ramblers players took on Springfield FC at St Colman’s Park.
Ramblers’ ex-players must have given a nervous look to the touchline after Springfield took the lead when Luke Wilson fired past 41-year-old Mick Devine.
But the Rams were back in it when a Springfield own goal levelled the tie up at 1-1.
A penalty gave Keano’s side the lead after current Ramblers assistant manager Anthony Wolfe was felled in the box before dusting himself off and scoring from 12 yards.
With all funds raised going to the Cobh Hospital development, it’s no wonder that we got a chirpier version of Keano than we might be used to seeing.
