Roisin Baker optimistic about Frank Browne's Dublin camogie reign
Friday 23 November 2018 17:46, UK
Dublin Camogie star Róisín Baker has backed Frank Browne for success at the helm of the Sky Blues.
The appointment of Browne as manager of the Dubs Camogie team has raised spirits in the capital that the Sky Blues can push on in the coming years.
In 2017, they reached the All-Ireland semi-final under David Herrity, but failed to back it up in 2018 as they suffered a heavy quarter-final loss to Galway.
Baker believes the acquisition of the former Mayo ladies football manager can push Dublin along an upward curve.
"He's a man with a lot of experience managing different teams," she said of Browne. "He had a good handle over the Mayo ladies team a couple of years ago. Anyone with that kind of experience, you're more than happy to see come on board any team."
Baker feels that coaching skills are transferable, dismissing the fact that Browne's most recent role was in football as a non-issue.
"I think the way the game has developed, management doesn't need to be from one code in particular. We've seen Jim McGuinness with Donegal, he is gone doing soccer. Managers are managers. It's the way they control the team, command respect amongst the players. So I think anyone with experience of managing a team, it doesn't matter what code, if you know what you're doing, if you're a peoples person, you're going to be good at the job.
"We want to get training as quick as we can. We're all excited to go back, hit the ground running."
