BREAKING NEWS: Corey and McMahon step away from Meath management team

Meath's preparations for their Leinster SFC opener against Carlow at Pairc Tailteann next Sunday have been rocked with the news that highly regarded coaches Joe McMahon and Martin Corey have stepped down from their role.

A statement released on the Meath GAA website confirmed the news this evening. The statement read.

Following the conclusion of the Allianz Football Football League, Joe McMahon and Martin Corey have stepped down from their roles as Selectors/Coaches with the Meath Senior Football Team.

Robbie Brennan and the Meath Co. Management Committee thank both Joe and Martin for their efforts since their appointment and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

The Senior Football panel and management continue their preparations for the opening round of the Leinster SFC against Carlow.

There is no further comment to make at this time.

Monaghan man Corey and Tyrone's McMahon were announced as coaches when Robbie Brennan was named as new Meath manager to replace Colm O'Rourke last September.

Corey has coached both Cavan and Monaghan to All-Ireland SFC semi-finals. McMahon coached Tyrone in 2021 to Ulster and All-Ireland SFC championships.
