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.
