Browne stays back to work on fitness

TONY BROWNE has missed out on the Waterford hurlers’ holiday to Morocco, using the timeto overcome a troublesome leg injury.

Browne was named the Mount Sion captain for the coming year at the club’s recent AGM, which means he will automatically take over the captaincy of the Munster champions from Ballygunner’s Fergal Hartley for 2003.

His Mount Sion club colleague, Ken McGrath admitted that the former hurler of the year is looking forward to captaining both club and county this year and is determined to be fully fit for both campaigns.
