Mayo appoint Under 20 and Under 17 hurling manager

Brian Finn of Tooreen has been appointed as the Mayo Under 20 and Under 17 hurling manager for 2021. He was ratified by the executive of Mayo GAA County Board at a meeting last night.

“We would like to take this opportunity to wish Brian and his management team the very best of luck in the year ahead,” said Mayo GAA in announcing his appointment today.

Finn has worked with the underage, junior and senior teams with both Tooreen and Claremorris. He managed the Mayo minors in back-to-back All-Ireland C titles in 2013 and 2014, and lost out on three in a row after a replay in the 2015 final. He also managed the Mayo Under 21s in 2015 to beat Roscommon in the Hogan Cup Under 21 B final.

His selectors are Austin Kenny (Tooreen) and David Hurley (Claremorris). Austin has years of experience with Tooreen at underage and senior level, and was also involved at all levels with Aghamore. He was previously on the Mayo senior and Under 21 managment team with Christy Phillips. David Hurley, meanwhile, played with his native Kerry club, Killarney Legion, and has coached at all underage levels with Claremorris.
