Meath ratchet up pressure on Banty

Seamus McEnaney’s position as Meath football manager looks fatally weakened following an emergency county board management committee meeting on his future.

Unconfirmed reports last night indicate the committee have issued a ‘resign of face a no confidence vote’ to the Monaghan native. A well-placed source said ‘Banty’ “has been asked to consider his position” following Sunday’s relegation to Division 3.

The management committee is now awaiting a response from McEnaney. “We have to wait and see what Seamus says in response to what was discussed at the meeting,” the source said, amid fevered speculation the manager has been given until today to tender his resignation.
