Colm O'Rourke has revealed that he effectively took early retirement to become Meath manager but has insisted he doesn't view it as a sacrifice.

O'Rourke will shortly retire from his job as a school principal at St Pat's Classical School in Navan. The 64-year-old said he had initially planned to remain in the position for longer but will now 'give my full attention to this job' with Meath.
