Meath senior hurling job goes to Johnny Greville

The Meath senior hurling team will be led by Johnny Greville next season.

Greville will be appointed at the next county committee meeting and will take charge of the Meath hurlers for a three-year spell. Selectors Seán Corrigan and Tom Shine will join him.

His CV includes three Westmeath SHC titles and a successful stint with the Westmeath camogie teams, guiding them to an All-Ireland junior title in 2017 before claiming the intermediate crown in 2019. As Westmeath minor hurling boss, he presided over a shock Leinster Championship victory against Wexford in 2015. He subsequently managed the storied Dublin club Faughs in the county's senior hurling championship.

Meath, GAA, in a statement, expressed their delight at having Greville on board:

"Johnny has committed to leading the senior hurling team for the next three years, beginning with the upcoming season.

"Johnny Greville brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, having successfully managed teams at various levels and demonstrated his commitment to the development of hurling. Matthew GAA is confident that his leadership will help drive the team to future success.

"Johnny will be supported by an accomplished management team, including Seán Corrigan of Kildalkey and Tom Shine from Kilskyre/Moylagh, who will serve as selectors.

"Together, they bring a strong blend of expertise and passion. Seán will remain the County U-20 manager, and this link is part of our strategic vision to improve Meath hurling."
