He's the best hurler in Connacht outside Galway, with a bit of work maybe good enough to make the Galway team. I don't know enough about hurling to rate him properly. He's from my hometown of Ballyhaunis. Unfortunately I don't think two years of dedicated hurling from Keith will make Mayo or Ballyhaunis competitive with Galway team or clubs.

Think I remember hearing him say in an interview that he would like to spend some time with the hurlers so not beyond the realms of possibility and seems to be a handy enough hurler. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 12/10/2015 15:04:02 1798069 Link 0 |
I think he would be very foolish to do so. I think he should and will continue to play with Mayo footballers. Mayo are a top football team and have an excellent chance of winning an All-Ireland before Keith Higgins is no longer required by Mayo footballers and that is the place he will want to be should Mayo win that elusive All-Ireland. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 597 - 12/10/2015 15:30:31 1798080 Link 0 |
Why doesn't he tog out for Galway in the hurling and give it a go his old man is from Galway so why not? Keep with the Mayo footballers obviously but it would be great to see how he would get on playing hurling at the top level. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 12/10/2015 15:48:24 1798089 Link 0 |
A very talented hurler. Pity players like him don't get the chance to play at top level. MARNELL (Westmeath) - Posts: 728 - 12/10/2015 18:40:59 1798145 Link 0 |

He'll never hurl for Galway. I asked his brother Pierce about it years ago. They're not from Mayo. I'm sure Declan Browne could have had offers to play for other counties but he didn't because Tipperary is the county he loves. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 13/10/2015 17:59:18 1798496 Link 0 |
