The FAI had its first-ever rejected director after delegates at Saturday’s resumed FAI annual general meeting opted against ratifying schoolboys/girls nominee Tom Browne.

The Waterford underage league stalwart has been on the board for 18 months but his extension, along with Packie Bonner and Robert Watt, was subject to approval at today’s gathering of the General Assembly.
