Browne ready to play his bit part

Tony Browne is happy to contribute in any way possible to a Waterford hurling team in deep transition.

Browne made his seasonal reappearance towards the end of Saturday’s qualifier victory over Westmeath, and celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday.

He has been a fixture in the team since making his championship debut in 1992, but a return delayed by a fractured rib means that his playing contribution is likely to be from the bench for the remainder of the campaign.
