Wexford have joined the managerial merry-go-round after it emerged that John Meyler will not be in charge of the county's hurlers next year. Meyler had been in charge for two years and it was expected he would be reappointed at a meeting of the county board later this month.

However, in a brief statement released this evening, the county board announced that Meyler's name "would not be going forward for the position" of hurling manager and wished him well in the future.

Meyler, who had led the Model County to All-Ireland semi and quarter-finals in the last two years, had been seeking another term and it would appear he was totally unaware his time was up.

As recently as yesterday he had voiced his displeasure at Galway and Antrim's inclusion in next season's Leinster championship, insisting an open draw was the solution to the problems facing hurling.
