Maughan returns for Mayo

JOHN MAUGHAN last night ended weeks of speculation and accepted a second term as Mayo manager.

Maughan addressed the 12-man committee set up to find Pat Holmes' replacement in Castlebar last night and told them he expected a backroom team to be in place within a week.

Two players who featured in Maughan's Mayo of the late 90's are expected to be in that management team one a current player, the other has since turned to the coaching ranks.
