Boylan looks set to retain Meath hot-seat

SEAN BOYLAN’S position as Meath manager was strengthened last night when he received a vote of confidence from the county board.

Clubs within the county will now have a month to decide whether to vote for Boylan or Dunshaughlin boss Eamon Barry before the ballot is counted at the next county board meeting on Monday, November 3.

Meanwhile, it will be some time before a successor to Cyril Lyons is found in Clare, as clubs have until the end of the week to submit possible candidates for the hot-seat. Although, the position has been the subject of a lot of speculation in recent weeks, PRO Des Crowe dismissed those that have been presented as favourites for the post.
