Meyler quits post as Kerry hurling boss

Kerry manager John Meyler sensationally resigned his post after the Christy Ring champions crashed out of the competition with defeat to Kildare in Newbridge on Saturday (2-21 to 1-16).

Meyler, in his third spell as Kingdom boss, said he had given the role “100%” but admitted: “What I wanted and what I got is not enough for me.”

Kerry struggled to match their 2011 form and were fortunate to maintain their Allianz League Division 2A status after losing their first two games.
