Colm O'Rourke says he pushed forward his retirement to focus fully on Meath job

Newly appointed Meath football manager Colm O'Rourke admits that he brought forward his retirement in order to fully focus on the Meath job.

The 64-year-old is a principal at St Pat's classical school in Navan. However, he will finish up in the role shortly in order to devote himself completely to intercounty management.

"I think the demands of this (Meath) job are too great to try to also hold down some of the employment I have had in the past, so I will be giving up everything to try and concentrate on this," said the former Sunday Game pundit.
