Also last night, the Tyrone county board re-appointed the Under-21 management team of Fergal Logan, Peter Canavan and Brian Dooher for a further two years.
Meanwhile, Cork IT manager Pat Mulcahy is part of a five-man selection committee that was appointed last night by the Cork county board to find the successor to Jimmy Barry Murphy as their senior hurling coach.
