Glennon takes swipe at board over poor treatment

WESTMEATH captain Denis Glennon has lashed out at his county board for not providing manager Pat Flanagan with enough financial backing last year.

The embattled manager was reappointed at a controversial meeting on Wednesday night where members of the local media were banned from attending. But it took an impassioned plea by Glennon in the Westmeath Topic earlier in the week to get it through.

“I’d be the first to admit that our championship displays this year weren’t good but it’s unfair to blame the management for that,” said Glennon.
