Former Meath stars Robbie O'Malley and Donal Curtis have been confirmed as new football manager Eamonn O'Brien's two selectors. The pair were ratified as part of O'Brien's management team at a county board executive meeting last night, meaning Navan O'Mahony's manager Sean Kelly, who had been widely tipped for a selector's role, will not be part of the new set-up. Both players were double All-Ireland winners during their playing careers. O'Malley was part of the teak-tough Meath team that won back-to-back All-Irelands in 1987 and '88, while Curtis tasted Sam Maguire Cup success in 1996 and '99. A former Meath captain, O'Malley was involved with the county under 21 management set-up a few years ago. Colm Brady, a member of the 1996 team and a selector for one year with O'Brien under Sean Boylan in 2003, will take over the training responsibilities. Trials are expected to start next weekend.
