Royals set to reiterate backing for McEnaney

MEATH GAA chiefs were last night putting the final touches to a press release outlining their position on the resignations of Liam Harnan and Barry Callaghan as selectors.

The board are expected to issue a press release this morning in which they will give their backing to manager Seamus McEnaney as he prepares for Sunday week’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kildare in Croke Park.

The delay in their official reaction comes as they attempt to keep a lid on the simmering tensions in Meath football following Harnan and Callaghan’s departures.
