Ryan and Maughan among Westmeath nominees

There are six candidates in the running to manage the Westmeath senior footballers next season, including incumbent boss Pat Flanagan, former Wexford manager Jason Ryan and ex-Mayo supremo John Maughan.

The clubs within Westmeath have put forward a list of six nominees for the position. Flanagan, given the nod by his old club Tyrrellspass, is eager to hold onto the job for his fourth year in charge and build on their promotion to Division 1.
