Duignan and his selectors quit Meath hurling jobs

A CONFLICT over club and county interests has forced Meath hurling manager Michael Duignan and his selectors to quit only days before their vital Allianz NHL game against Antrim.

Duignan, the former Offaly All-Ireland winner, says that this move was forced on them because the County Board declined to defer games in the SFC involving up to seven of their players.

“It’s a pity it came to this,’’ he commented yesterday.
