Eoin Kelly’s first game as Waterford selector comes against his native Tipperary tonight.
FOR THE BEST part of 25 years, Eoin Kelly has come down his driveway, flicked the indicator left, and turned the car for Thurles.
“Henry Shefflin making the move to Galway opened everyone else’s minds,” says the new Waterford selector. Kelly’s Waterford crusade throws in with the fixture that will bring the most local hype, albeit more so when they meet in the heat of summer hurling: a Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling League game against Tipperary tonight .
How will it feel being involved against Tipperary? Kelly says he’ll be better positioned to answer once he’s been through that emotional wringer but the experience will be lessened by the removal of the maor foirne role which allowed a member of the management team to run onto the field and issue instructions.
