Galway name Mulholland as new football boss

Former Galway player Alan Mulholland has been installed as the county's new senior footballer manager, taking over from the axed Tomás Ó Flatharta.

Mulholland was ratified last night for a three-year term. He is hoping transfer the success he had with the Galway underage teams onto the senior stage - he managed the minors to an All-Ireland title in 2007 and repeated the feat with the Under-21s earlier this year.
