Cool hand Luke eyes another miracle

When Luke Dempsey thinks back to the crazy few weeks he was in the running for the Meath job it makes him smile.

But for a by now infamous Meath County Board u-turn, it would have been him, not Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney, named as the first outside manager in the county’s history.

Instead of managing the seven-time All-Ireland kingpins, he took charge of a county he spent his teenage years living and whose claim to fame was a Leinster title in 1944.
