Banty a wanted man in Monaghan

Seamus McEnaney is wanted by a number of Monaghan players to return as manager.

The Meath boss was expected to speak to county chairman Barney Allen yesterday after the Royal County’s championship exit to Laois on Saturday. The Corduff native’s two-year term has come to an end and he is unlikely to be renewed having failed to receive a simple majority of clubs’ support in the executive’s failed attempt to have him ousted in April.

He is expected to announce he will be stepping down from the position in the coming days and has already been nominated for his former Monaghan position, recently vacated by namesake Eamonn McEneaney.
