Former Cork manager John Meyler is to head up a new hurling expert advisory group. Charged by GAA president Jarlath Burns, Meyler will chair a body that will make recommendations based on data provided by the games intelligence unit (GIU) tasked with collecting information on hurling matches. The former Mayo manager was confirmed by Burns at Congress last month where he also revealed he would be announcing the hurling expert group. “That is why the Games Intelligence Unit will extend its remit to provide data, insight, and analysis for hurling as well as football. That is why I am also delighted to announce that, liaising with the GIU, we will also have an Expert Advisory Group for hurling which will be named in the next two weeks.
