It has emerged that the future of Damien Fox as Laois senior hurling manager may be in doubt with the Tullamore native set to meet with Laois County Board officials tomorrow.

It has emerged that the future of Damien Fox as Laois senior hurling manager may be in doubt with the Tullamore native set to meet with Laois County Board officials tomorrow.

It is believed that Fox was disappointed with the turnout at a training session in Clonad on Saturday, with rumours immediately circulating that he was set to leave the position.

However, contrary to reports in today's newspapers, Fox has not quit as Laois manager.

An emergency meeting has been called for tomorrow night in Portlaoise to decide on the course of action to take.

The chairman and secretary of each of the hurling clubs in Laois will be in attendance along with members of the Laois Hurling Board and Co Executive. Fox and his selectors will also be present.

It is hoped that the meeting will iron out issues in relation to the absence of a number of players from Laois team training in recent weeks.

Fox will not be commenting on the issue until after tomorrow's meeting, during which it is expected he will reveal if he will stay on as Laois boss.

The O'Moore men are due to face either Galway or Antrim in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
