During that time frame O’Shea steered Dr Crokes to Kerry county senior finals in 2005 and 2006 but they lost out on both occasions to South Kerry.
Dr Crokes did represent Kerry on the Munster club stage in 2006 when they won the decider against Waterford’s The Nire before going on to reach the All-Ireland final in 2007 where they were defeated by Crossmaglen Rangers after a replay.

By that stage in 2007 O’Shea was double-jobbing having been appointed Kerry senior football boss. Under his stewardship Kerry lifted Sam Maguire in 2007 against Cork but missed out on the chance to retain it in 2008 when losing the decider to Tyrone.
