Meath football selectors quit

Meath senior football selectors Liam Harnan and Barry Callaghan have left the Royal County set-up.

The news comes just days after former captain Graham Geraghty made a surprise return to the Meath squad.

It appears that Meath manager Seamus McEnaney did not consult with Harnan and Callaghan over the return of the former All-Ireland SFC winning captain.

Callaghan was abroad last week and was unaware of the Seneschalstown clubman's recall to the county panel.

Harnan refused to comment on the issue on Friday, and took charge of the Meath team for a challenge game against Westmeath that night.

McEnaney was not present for the game at Rosemount which Meath won by 2-10 to 0-12.

Neither Harnan or Callaghan are willing to comment about their decisions to step down, but the Meath County Board says both have left due to 'personal reasons.'

Meath will face Kildare, the conquerors of Wicklow, in a Leinster SFC quarter-final tie at Croke Park on Sunday, June 5.
