At tonight’s Meath Co Board meeting in Dunganny (Monday), as well as management teams being confirmed for county underage teams for 2024, the draws were made for the concluding stages of the club football championships at both Senior and Intermediate level.
Both for those chasing silverware and salvation. Before getting into all that though, the managerial appointments ratified at the meeting were as follows:
Drumree clubman Martin Lynch takes over the county Minor hurlers from Kilmessan’s Ger O’Neill who moves on with the group with whom he won the Peadar Lehane Cup – All Ireland Minor B Hurling Championship – to U-20.
On the football side, Joe Cowley of Seneschalstown will take over the Meath Minors. A two time Keegan Cup winner as a player, he was most recently part of Oisin McConville’s backroom team in Wicklow having previously managed his native Yellow Furze outfit and a couple of clubs in Monaghan.
