Limerick man steps down as Westmeath senior hurling manager

BRUFF clubman Seoirse Buflin has stepped down as Westmeath senior hurling manager after one year in charge. 

Westmeath were relegated from Division 1B and the Lake county failed to reached this year's Joe McDonagh Cup final. The Leinster side finished in fourth place in the Joe McDonagh Cup. 

Bulfin resigned from the role of Meath senior hurling manager in 2024. The south Limerick man was appointed to the Meath role in the autumn of 2022. In his first year in charge of 'the Royals', Bulfin led them a league title and the Christy Ring Cup in 2023.

Bulfin previously served as coach of the Meath senior hurling team. 

The Limerick man's switch to the 'Royal' county brought to an end an 18 year association for him and Davy Fitzgerald - the last 11 years of which was at inter-county level. 

The pair first worked together at Fitzgibbon Cup level in LIT. 

Bulfin would then be Fitzgerald's right hand man and Maor Foirne with inter-county senior sides; Waterford (one year), Clare (five years) and Wexford (five years).
