Statement from Johnny Greville

After careful reflection, I have decided to step down as Manager of the Meath Senior Hurling Team.

It has been a tremendous honour to manage Meath and to work with such an outstanding group of players and a dedicated backroom team. Everyone involved gave their all in representing the county with pride, and I will always be grateful for that commitment.

Inter-county management is a privilege, but it demands a significant commitment that extends far beyond training and match days. Over time, those demands have an impact on family life and personal wellbeing. I believe now is the right time to step away and give greater priority to my family, health and wellbeing.

I would like to sincerely thank all involved in the Meath County Board & Hurling Committee for their trust and support. In particular, I want to acknowledge Jason Plunkett for his  professionalism and commitment to the development of Meath Hurling.

To the players, thank you for your honesty, resilience and dedication. It has been a privilege to share this journey with you, and I have every confidence that the experiences gained will serve you well in the years ahead.

I also want to thank my management and backroom team for their expertise, commitment and countless hours of work. Their support was central to everything we tried to achieve.

To the clubs, volunteers and supporters, thank you for your encouragement and respect throughout my time in the role.

Finally, thank you to my family for their patience, understanding and unwavering support. Without them, this opportunity would not have been possible.

I leave with great pride in what we worked towards together and every confidence that Meath Hurling will continue to progress. I wish the players and everyone involved every success in the future.

Thank you,

Johnny
