Micheál Burke becomes Mullingar Shamrocks manager
It has been confirmed that former All-Ireland football medal winner Micheál Burke will take up the reins as manager of Mullingar Shamrocks senior football team.
Burke, who was part of Luke Dempsey's U21 side that beat Kerry in 1999, has been a stalwart of the club for many years and take up the mantle from another local man Enda Monaghan.
