Former Déise star Kevin Moran on the return of Davy Fitz, a disappointing 2022, panel change and league structures.
DAVY FITZGERALD IS “the perfect guy” for the Waterford hurlers, according to former Déise star Kevin Moran.
Moran was pleased to see him return to the Waterford hot-seat, the defending Division 1 Allianz hurling league champions with a win and a draw under their belts thus far. “He’s an experienced manager, and can put his own stamp on the team. I thought it was a really good, smart move. He’s the perfect guy to get the lads back up to speed, and back operating at the level they were last April and May. There’s a lot of positivity down here with regards to Davy’s appointment.”Moran, who retired in 2021 after 16 seasons, reflects on Waterford’s disappointment last season.
“I think we all thought that, and were right to think it at the time because they were playing at that level. The previous summer, I do think that they put it up to Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Looking to the future, De La Salle clubman Moran is mindful of the changes in the Waterford panel of late. Pauric Mahony is the latest retirement, while Stephen O’Keeffe turned down the chance to return to the set-up.
