In a statement published last night, they have announced that Davy Nelson and his complete backroom team will not be taking Meath into the Championship.
“With regret Meath LGFA announce that the county senior management will not be taking the team forward to the TG4 All-Ireland Series Group B games against Waterford and Donegal.
“The county board wish to place on record our sincere gratitude to manager Davy Nelson, head coach Mark Brennan and the entire coaching and backroom team, for their commitment and workrate during the 2023 season.”

The County Board are now on the hunt for a new manager before they begin their All-Ireland defense against Waterford on Sunday 25 June.
