Dermot Butler has been elected the new secretary of Mayo GAA County Board.

The Crossmolina Deel Rovers clubman, who was the outgoing Assistant Secretary, will take over from Vincent Neary after getting the better of Ronan Kirrane (Davitts GAA) in a vote at today's convention in Westport.

There was consolation for Kirrane, however, when he was elected unopposed to the role of Assistant Secretary.

Otherwise, it's as you were at the top table.
