WHEN DAN SHANAHAN got the word to draw him back into the inter-county senior game, he faced a dilemma.
“The one thing for me, the common denominator, we’re all good Waterford people for one aim. We’re all trying to improve Waterford hurling, whether it’s James O’Connor with the minors, Ken McGrath with the twenties, Peter Queally with the seniors. We’re all here for the one goal is to improve Waterford hurling.”
Advertisement “You see it in Cork, Pat Ryan in Cork, Brian Lohan’s in Clare, Liam Cahill’s in Tipp, the Dublin manager, Niall Ó Ceallacháin, again he’s from Dublin, Micheál Donoghue is gone back to Galway, Keith Rossiter is in Wexford, Derek Lyng’s in Kilkenny. All their own men in charge. I think that’s massive that we got a Waterford man in charge.
“Results don’t lie. We haven’t come out of the Munster round-robin in a number of years when Liam or Davy was there. That hurts me. “I am looking forward to the challenge. It is going to be a massive challenge. I could have sat down at home, relaxed for the year without doing this, and sat in the local criticising. No, I took it on the chin.
