Browne ratified as Mayo hurling boss

Wexford man Frank Browne has been appointed as the new manager of the Mayo senior hurlers, succeeding Gerry Spelman.

Browne, who has yet to confirm his selectors, is well-known in Mayo hurling circles having played for both Ballyhaunis - his opportunist goal during the 2002 county final helped gain the club their first ever Mayo senior title - and the county team.
