Mayo County Board ratify Stephen Rochford as new football boss
The Crossmolina native has been given a three-year term with a review at the end of each year. He will address delegates at next Sunday’s County Convention in Ballina. He was formally proposed for the position by his clubmate Dermot Butler, and seconded by Kevin McDonnell (Kilmaine).
Rochford (37) was the only nominee for the high-profile post when the deadline closed just over four weeks ago. He succeeds Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly, who stepped down as joint managers following a vote of no- confidence in them by members of the 2015 Mayo squad.
