McEnaney finally takes up Royal appointment

Seamus McEnaney was finally given the green light to become the fifth manager of the Meath senior football team in seven seasons at the county board meeting in Navan last night.

There was surprisingly little opposition to the installation of a first ever outside boss to take control of the Royal county side and the vote in favour of the man who was at the helm with his native Monaghan for the last six years was 53 to 19.
