fell again in the provincial final, giving O'Shea a ninth Munster title. An eighth All-Ireland final appearance quickly followed and it turned out to be a historic occasion. Tyrone provided the opposition in their first-ever Championship decider. A Peter Quinn goal gave the Ulster men a six-point lead in the second-half; however, the game was far from over. Pat Spillane ran fifty yards up the field for a hand-passed goal to get Kerry back on track. Mikey Sheehy scored a second goal to give 'the Kingdom' a 2–15 to 1–10 victory. It was O'Shea's seventh All-Ireland medal. The glory days were now over for Kerry as Cork captured the next four Munster titles. O'Shea continued to play with Kerry, winning his eleventh Munster title as captain of the team in 1991. Kerry were subsequently defeated by eventual champions Down in the All-Ireland semi-final. O'Shea retired from inter-county football the following year when Clare defeated 'The Kingdom' to win their second ever Munster Senior Football final. Inter-provincial O'Shea also lined out with Munster in the inter-provincial football competition and enjoyed much success. He first lined out with his province in 1977 as Munster defeated Connacht in the final by 1–14 to 1–9. It was his first Railway Cup winners' medal and the first of two-in-a-row for Munster. After losing out in 1979 and 1980 O'Shea captured a third Railway Cup title in 1981. A one-point defeat of Connacht gave O'Shea a fourth Railway Cup winners' medal in 1982. He lined out for Munster on a number of occasions between then and 1991; however, he never tasted Railway Cup success again. Internationals O'Shea represented Ireland in 9 International Rules Tests against Australia. He played 3 Tests in each of the 1984 and 1986 series, and culminated in being awarded the Harry Beitzel Medal as the outstanding player of the 1990 series. Management In 1992 Jack O'Shea was appointed manager of the Mayo senior football team. His two-year period produced one Connacht title. However, his time as manager was not considered a success as Mayo did not reach an All-Ireland Final. In his first year, he won the Connacht title by beating Roscommon by 1–5 (8) to 0–7 (7). But Cork hammered Mayo 5–15 (30) to 0–10 (10) in the semi-final. In his second campaign as manager, Leitrim, led by former Mayo manager John O'Mahony, beat Mayo 0–12 (12) to 2–4 (10) in
