Vote sees Boylan earn 23rd season

Dunboyne herbalist Sean Boylan has defeated Eamonn Barry in the Meath managerial vote for a third successive year, guaranteeing a 23rd season at the helm of the Royals.

Tonight's County Board meeting in Simonstown saw 87 members vote on the decision. Sixty-year-old Boylan, who has led Meath to four All-Irelands, the latest being in 1999, scored a 50-37 victory over former Dunshaughlin supremo Barry.
