Meath on hunt for new boss as O'Dowd brings 4-year tenure to an end

The decision comes in the wake of their championship exit amid a demoralising defeat to Derry.

MEATH ARE ON the lookout for a new manager after it was confirmed today that Mick O’Dowd has stepped down.

This afternoon’s announcement brings to an end the coach’s four-year stint in charge of the county.

The decision comes in the wake of Meath’s championship exit amid a demoralising defeat to Derry, which saw the Royals fail to hold onto a seven-point lead established after the first half of this afternoon’s Round 3 qualifier in Owenbeg.

    Did you know you can personalise your feed to hide articles about sports you aren’t really concerned with and stick to what you know? That might save you some upset.

    You can’t, however, filter out the trolls.

    I’m up at 7am waiting for the Murray server clock to publish the morning read. You Sir should be walking your greyhound.

    Ah now Christy. You’re allowed your opinion and everyone else is allowed an opinion on your opinion and so on. That’s the beauty of it.

    If you don’t want your opinion to be scrutinised then don’t put it out there. Or better still, set up your own forum as suggested below.

    That being said, Happy Paddys Day!
