Meath boosted by Fay decision

MEATH football received a welcome boost yesterday with confirmation that All-Star nominee Darren Fay will be available for selection next season.

Fay made his county debut 11 years ago and has won three Leinster titles, the 1996 and ‘99 All-Irelands and is also a former All-Star.

Although he retired ahead of the 2006 season, he was persuaded to return to the fold last year by Colm Coyle when the Seneschalstown clubman took over as manager from Eamonn Barry.
