THE MEATH COUNTY Board has recommended that Mick O’Dowd be retained as senior football manager.
The Royals endured a disappointing 2015 season, failing to gain promotion from Division II of the Allianz National Football League and losing a first ever Leinster championship game to Westmeath in a dramatic provincial semi-final.
Meath then suffered a two-point defeat to Tyrone in Round 2B of the All-Ireland Qualifiers.
Many felt O’Dowd’s future was in doubt when selector Sean Kelly confirmed he had left his role with the team.
However, at a management committee meeting last night, the board voted unanimously to nominate O’Dowd to remain in his current role until 2017 with a review following the completion of next season’s campaign.
The Skyrne man’s fate will now be decided by the county’s club delegates when they meet to vote on his re-appointment in Kilmessan on 10 August.
Good on them! Especially in the Windies own back yard!
How big of a win is this?
Have other test nations beaten the West Indies in their home venue recently?
Fair play. They seem to be very good at getting up for big games and being competitive. They don’t put up big run scores but seem to bowl very well.
The West Indies are current T20 world champions. Probably not the best in the world now but I’d put them somewhere in the top 3. (In T20)
