Fay not yet ruled out of Meath plans as Boylan waits

DARREN FAY has refused to rule himself out of Meath's Championship plans for this year despite speculation that Sean Boylan was all but resigned to planning without the Allstar full-back.

The Trim defender informed Boylan late last year that he would be unable to give the required commitment for the O'Byrne Cup and National League after the birth of his second child before Christmas, plus the demands of a newly-established kitchen manufacturing business.

With nine seasons under his belt with the county, the 29-year old already has three Leinster and two All-Ireland senior medals to his credit. As a former Irish International Rules player and three-time All-Star on top of that, Fay could be forgiven for calling it a day.
