Tony Browne joins Ken McGrath’s Waterford U20 hurling setup

Browne replaces Dan Shanahan who has moved on to the senior fold.

WATERFORD HURLING LEGEND Tony Browne has joined Ken McGrath’s Déise U20 hurling backroom team for 2025, as first reported by WLRFM.

Browne’s appointment was confirmed at a county board meeting in Dungarvan on Monday night.

Browne, the 1998 Hurler of the Year, replaces Dan Shanahan who will be a member of Peter Queally’s senior hurling set-up next year.

Browne has previously worked under Liam Cahill in the Waterford senior setup and, more recently, with the Tipp senior hurlers.

He joins Déise fellow former Waterford hurlers Andy Moloney and Kevin Moran in McGrath’s backroom team.

    Ask 100 defenders who they’d rather play against Kalou or Torres and I reckon 100 would rather face Kalou. Shocking that Kalou was picked ahead of him. If Drogba stays Torres would be better off leaving.

    Kalou was in for his defensive qualities of tracking back then booming forward again. He has been picked ahead of sturridge and torres this season in big games and was no surprise again last night.

    What are you taking about? Kalou played on the right wing. Torres and him don’t even play in the same position.

    When kalou went off who replaced him.??
    Regardless of position Torres is a much better footballer than kalou, in fact me 4 yr old daughter is a better player than him, and Bosingwa for that matter.

    Great tactical nous there Jambbie. When Kalou went off Chelsea changed formation and went with 2 up front, that’s why Torres came on. Fair enough though, you’re entitled to your opinion… ?50m well spent so!

    Soccer players are grossly overpaid and have no pride or passion for their clubs. GAA players do not get paid and play for the love of their club and County. We are all tired of the constant moaning that these overpaid and insolent “players” continue with.

    Hurler, footballers have no pride because few of them are actually from the area their club represents. Theyre a business. They do it for the money. Irish people are fascinated with British teams for some reason. At least GAA teams make their entire county proud and also hold down jobs. Keep up the good work!

If they were in any way talented they’d play football like Shane long and Kevin moran but most of them are talentless and have to stick to bogball..

I also am a proud Limerick supporter and have an equal interest in gaelic games. What is it with people’s preoccupations with taking the high moral ground on which sport is better?! I am not a moron, either are my friends who are respectful soccer fans. I once was at a GAA match when drunk idiots insulted my team after we had beaten them…GAA fans aren’t angels either.

    Back to the subject of Torres, his move to London was disruptive from the beginning…hopefully it’ll get better for him.

    I’ll tell you something hurler 2012. There are plenty of thugs in the GAA. To cite some examples, my cousin was playing while trying to get fit again, he was beating his marker to the ball every time and was playing great. His marker obviously couldn’t hack it and swing at him, it results in a broken jaw, several teeth being knocked out and a couple of teeth went through his lip. He ended up in hospital for quite a while. In another incident, I remember the older brother of a player ran out of the stands and attacked my other cousin because his younger brother was losing in a slagging match. The GAA board swept all of this under the rug, and particularly in the second incident the family were constantly pressured by the GAA commitee members and boards on high to drop any sort of case they were thinking of pursuing. I’ve often heard of fights between local GAA teams and/or their followers outside if nightclubs and pubs too.
    Add to this the nepotism that is rife in the sport. I went to a school that won the School Senior All-Ireland A championship, and I can tell you the there are plenty of GAA Morons.
    I’m not knocking the players that do play with pride and passion in GAA. I have great admiration for their dedication and am proud of the fact it’s the worlds largest amatuer sport. I think there the sport has a fantastic following. But please try not to brand football supporters morans and thugs when elements of the GAA can be just as bad.

Its their job their high profile and 75% of the planet are interested in what they have to say. Not just a couple of million members of the Gaa. Just because he earns millions doesn’t mean he has to be happy with every aspect of how he earns it. I know an intercounty player who wasn’t happy on the bench so he left the panel and the only thing he misses is the 500euro expenses he was getting.

    Ciara, seriously give over. Let people off if they want to support whoever. Be it Chelsea or Cork City, people have strong connections to clubs that you can’t deny….and I don’t think people should apologise for following something as basic as a soccer team. Sport gives people alot of enjoyment…I can’t understand why people have to bicker and be so negative. The Premier League is big business, one that supports thousands of jobs. One example is in Glasgow, where both Celtic and Rangers are based in areas of the city that suffer from severe social decline and the clubs have gone some way in bringing people into the area and helping local businesses. Same can be said about Manchester City, the flow of money into Eastlands has boosted the local economy, whether people like the owners or not. Are you aware that soccer clubs have philanthropic duties to the local area that they’re based in? Celtic run a back to work scheme for young adults in Glasgow, training them in skills and helping them return to further education. QPR have a similar scheme going on at the moment with young travellers in West London and its been a big success. I have been impressed with Arsenal’s effort in this area aswell.

    I don’t agree with the money some soccer players are on….I believe some players are on obscene amounts for kitting out. Many players have strong allegiances to their club. Do you really think Steven Gerrard would sing for Manchester United given the chance? Would Gary Neville or Paul Scholes sign for Liverpool? I doubt Torres himself would sign for Real, being an Atletico fan.

    The end of the day, let people enjoy sport and have the freedom to choose who they wish to support.

    Sher soccer is an international sport…and the Premier League is an international brand. Within that brand you have teams like Man Utd, Liverpool etc..massive brands in themselves. English rugby teams wouldn’t have a sniff of the international following that their soccer counterparts would enjoy. Imo (and I’m aware I’ll get red thumbs for this!!), Munster started off the whole mass support for the province teams in Ireland…bandwagon for many maybe but in places like Limerick, you can’t deny that the genuine passion exists for the sport.

    Why paint all soccer players with the same brush…some players have loyalty to their ‘boyhood clubs’ and others don’t or have taken opportunities elsewhere. In Rooney’s case, the chance to play with one of the biggest clubs in the world at such a young age was a draw to him. A career move, in a similar way with Torres when he went to Chelsea.

    I can’t really assess why Irish people have an obsession with British soccer teams, sorry about that! ;) Just let everyone do their own thing, like!

    Hurler 2012, I’ve read all your posts and your just delusional to say the least if u don’t think there are ‘thugs’ as you like to call them in the GAA… Firstly you don’t attend football matches in Ireland or abroad so don’t give an opinion on something you haven’t witnessed… Secondly I share an avid interest in both GAA and football to levels where my friends called me weird… I attend soccer matches at junior and senior level in Ireland during the winter and GAA during and have seen more altercations at GAA matches, even where the supporters of the same teams fight amongst themselves… Lastly it’s upsetting that you don’t think all sports should be given equal status in Ireland….

    i think chelsea expected him to be a striker, pretty obvious, moaning bastid! What does he want , to be taken by the hand onto the pitch and a dummy and a hot water bottle after it!

    It would never happen so I never have to think about it… Ronaldo would never join them, he gave 100% in his last season at OT knowing he was moving to Madrid because Fergie promised him he would allow him leave… He would never upset Fergie or Utd fans by joining them

    I think Torres will get more game time next year. From the looks of it Drogba will be heading to the Arab or Russian League. Roberto doesn’t fancy Sturidge and will ship him off to Arsenal.

    After the goal against Barca his confidence seemed to be up then he was dropped again. If Drogba and Daniel go I’d like to see Torres get a proper go. With Mata and Lampard supplying him he should do well.

    He should get a proper go?!?! I know i wasn’t the only one watching him go hours upon hours of missing chances, open goals and available runs. He had his go, they reverted back to drogba and won the cl. Torres is a spoilt child, this is him throwing his toys out of his pram…. Chelsea to buy the napoli duo and sell torres…. Cash in now before his time at liverpool is forgotten….

    What point you trying to get at here?? You trying to imply its not right to sign ex-Liverpool as if a mortal sin…If you hold that view it must be terrible to have an ex Arsenal player to help ye gain a better league position.. We challenged for the league without relying on Owen and nearly won so I’m still lost as to what ur trying to get at

    Your comment would be funny if Michael Owen wasn’t injured since November and didn’t have a better goal per games ratio than Torres this season… You could probably say the same about Spurs, how many Arsenal or Chelsea players lined out for ur this season, curious to see if you agree that one Emmanuel Adebayour was an ex Gunner and your top scorer this season

    The money spent on this guy is disgraceful and he has turned out to be rubbish.The bottom line he was bought to score goals and has not delivered.
    Chelsea I am sure if they could get a good price would let him go.I bet Liverpool are happy but now they have an even bigger disaster with Carroll

    Quite moany from Torres,he should be facing up to the fact that Drogba has been more critical to Chelsea’s success this season than him. He failed to do his talking on the pitch during most of this season.Yes,he has every right to be disappointed,but perhaps a look inward as opposed to the coach and others might be his best solution.Di Matteo and AVB gave him every chance to shine.Torres would be best served by a move back to Athletico Madrid and regular football.
