Brian Cody features on new Hurling Development Committee

Eleven-time All-Ireland Hurling Championship-winning manager Brian Cody is one of the marquee names on GAA president Jarlath Burns' new Hurling Development Committee.

Cody led the Cats to unprecedented success in his time in charge, which resulted in a 24-year reign.

The 11 All-Ireland titles included a four-in-a-row between 2006 and 2009, 18 Leinster Championships, 10 National Hurling League titles, seven Walsh Cup titles and an Oireachtas tournament title.

Cody joins a list of familiar names on the new committee, named 'Tiomáint' by the new president.

Aside from some well-known managers, it includes input from those with a good knowledge of coaching and games departments, and other proven administrators and figures.

Also comprising the committee are Terry Reilly from Antrim, former Tipp goalkeeper and current Under-20 manager Brendan Cummins and Neil McManus from Antrim.

Tipp native and former Wexford manager Darragh Egan, Carlow's Ciaran Bolger, Cork's Sean O’Gorman, Clare's James McInerney and current Laois manager and Tipp man Willie Maher are also on board, with a number of those selected for the development work they oversaw in their own clubs.
