Colm O'Rourke set himself the task of toppling Dublin as he takes on the Meath manager's job.
Confirmation of O’Rourke’s appointment as Andy McEntee’s successor will come at a county board meeting this evening, with former Meath stars Stephen Bray and Barry Callaghan to serve as his selectors while Eugene Eivers, strength and conditioning coach with the Meath ladies team, is also expected to come on board.
One of the county’s most celebrated footballers, O’Rourke played on Meath teams that beat Dublin in Championship football on five occasions, including the climax to the famous four-game saga in 1991, but they’ve only recorded a single victory over their arch rivals since 2001.
