Sheedy won’t shy way from recommendations to raise hurling standards

Liam Sheedy wants to see more Dublins in hurling as he embarks on his chairmanship of the games’ new review committee.

Tipperary’s 2010 All-Ireland winning manager has described it as “an honour and a privilege” to be asked by GAA president Liam O’Neill to head up the 10-person group who meet for the first time next week where they will learn their terms of reference. He stresses the game is not in need of “a complete overhaul” and insists change won’t be recommended for the sake of it.

However, he believes the committee can have a role in helping to raise the standard of hurling in developing counties as well as established ones who have struggled in recent times.
