Career

A member of the John Mitchels club, in Tralee, O'Mahony won his first County Championship title in 1952 before claiming a second title in 1959. He first played for the Kerry senior football team during the 1953-54 league and succeeded in displacing Johnny Foley as the first-choice goalkeeper. O'Mahony won the first of back-to-back Munster Championship medals in 1954 and, after defeat by Meath in the 1954 All-Ireland final, claimed a winners' medal after lining out in goal in Kerry's defeat of Dublin in the 1955 All-Ireland final. He retained his position in goal for the opening round of the 1956 Munster Championship but lost his place to Donal Marcus O'Neill later that year.
