Boylan faces fight to retain Meath job

Sean Boylan will have to see off five other coaches at next month's meeting of the Meath county board if he is to stay on as Royals manager.

The Dunboyne herbalist has been in the role of Meath senior football manager since 1982, and helped them reach the latter stages of the this season's All-Ireland qualifiers before losing 1-6 to 1-8 to neighbours Cavan.
