Meyler optimistic on Kingdom return
Meyler helped Kerry pen their own chapter during the hurling revolution of the 1990s, the high point being their seismic Munster championship success against Waterford in 1993. Since then Kerry have languished in the doldrums, but Meyler has still returned to fill the role of hurling evangelist once more. Sunday’s Waterford Crystal Cup tie against UL in Austin Stack Park marks the start of his second coming.
“Sunday’s the start of it for our hurling this year as we’ve only been able to do basic indoor and weights work so far. I was asked to get involved with the Kerry U21s last year and I’m now on board with the seniors again. I saw young players last year who were enthusiastic and committed. So I felt if I could marry them with the more senior players like Liam Boyle, Shane Brick and Tom Murnane, you could blend a team together.”
