Colm O'Rourke has decided not to put his name forward for the Meath manager's job, which should see Sean Boylan take the helm for the 23rd consecutive year.

Double All-Ireland winner O'Rourke met with the County Board last week for an interview for the job, in which he stated conditions for his appointment, including a revamp of Meath underage football and the appointment of a paid official to head GAA issues.

However, the board said they could not put these changes in place immediately and so O'Rourke withdrew his name.
