Former Meath star Bernard Flynn has spoken of his disappointment at learning on social media this week that the Meath senior football job was going elsewhere.
Royal County legend Colm O’Rourke was nominated for the vacancy by the county executive on Monday before being ratified to the position yesterday.
Flynn himself had been nominated for the position in June following Andy McEntee’s departure after five seasons at the helm.
In a tweet he posted last night, Flynn congratulated fellow county man O’Rourke on his appointment, but also aired his disappointment about learning of the news through social media.
Tweet@MeathGAA l sincerely wish Colm and all the lads all the very best going forward 🟢🟡it was disappointing to find out on social media yesterday who the next manager would be, but a massive thank you to my entire back room team for their loyalty efforts and genuine support
