Limerick man Bulfin steps down as Westmeath hurling manager after one season
Seoirse Bulfin has stepped down as Westmeath hurling manager after just a season in charge. The Limerick man replaced Joe Fortune last summer. Westmeath suffered relegation from Division 1B earlier this year and only avoided the drop from the Joe McDonagh Cup with victory over Kerry in the final round of the competition. "Westmeath GAA can confirm that Seoirse Bulfin has stepped down from his role as manager of the Westmeath Senior Hurling team," Westmeath GAA said in a statement. "Seoirse, who was appointed ahead of the 2025 season, has informed the County Board of his decision to step away following the conclusion of the current campaign. "Westmeath GAA would like to sincerely thank Seoirse for his hard work and commitment over the course of the season. His efforts throughout the year were greatly appreciated by players, officials, and supporters alike. "We also extend our thanks to his backroom team, whose dedication and support were vital to the team's preparation and performance throughout the year. "The process to appoint a new manager for the Westmeath Senior Hurling team will commence in the coming weeks." Bulfin had managed Meath prior to taking over as Westmeath boss. The Bruff clubman had also worked closely with Davy Fitzgerald during his time managing Waterford, Clare and Wexford. He managed the Charleville hurlers last year.

Seoirse Bulfin steps down as Westmeath manager after one season
Westmeath hurling manager Seoirse Bulfin has stepped down after one season in charge. The Limerick man's resignation was confirmed in a statement by Westmeath GAA this afternoon, in which they thanked the outgoing manager for his "hard work and commitment" throughout the season and said the search for a successor would commence in the coming weeks. In 2025, Bulfin's Westmeath side was relegated to Division 2 in the Allianz Hurling League after just one win from six in their Division 1B campaign. They subsequently won two from five games in their Joe McDonagh season, shipping seven goals in a heavy loss to Carlow in Round 4 though they did easily avoid relegation with a 12-point win away to Kerry in the final round. Bulfin previously worked as a coach with Davy Fitzgerald in Waterford, Clare and Wexford, forming part of the 2013 All-Ireland winning management team. He subsequently managed Meath, guiding them to the Christy Ring Cup victory in 2023 before their relegation from Joe McDonagh in 2024, after which he assumed the Westmeath hotseat.
