Boylan turns down Dublin hurling job

It has emerged that long-time Meath football supremo Sean Boylan was recently asked to consider an immediate return to management - with the Dublin hurlers.

The Dunboyne herbalist, who retired after 23 years in charge of the Royals last month, was informally approached by the Dublin County Board with a view to him succeeding Tommy Naughton as the capital's senior hurling manager.
