Leading Mayo club appoint former inter-county attacker as manager


Ballina Stephenites appoint one of the ‘Class of 2005’ as their new senior boss
The man who played centre-half-forward for Ballina Stephenites when they famously won the All-Ireland senior club title in 2005 has tonight been appointed as their new team manager.
Ger Brady was part of the all-conquering Stephenites side who defeated Portlaoise by a point in a thrilling decider in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day 2005. He now takes charge of a side who have won three of the last four county titles when they were manged by Niall Heffernan.
Brady was also a highly-thought-of inter-county forward and played 49 times for Mayo between 1998 and 2007 and was wing-forward in the Mayo team defeated by Kerry in the 2006 All-Ireland final.
