Hunt to stay on at Meath helm

John Hunt is to stay on as Meath senior hurling manager, but it's believed that not everyone is pleased with the appointment.

Clare man Hunt has been approved by the county board and will again be joined by Limerick's Eamon Cregan as coach and Pat Stephens as physical trainer.

More than half of the senior panel wrote a letter earlier this year highlighting grievances between them and the management set-up. It is thought now that a number of players will not make themselves available for the 2005 campaign.
