“He will not be quoting philosophers or poets, however he is aware of tips on how to converse hurling”

Former Waterford defender Brian Flannery has hailed the influence made by his Mount Sion club-mate Paraic Fanning in a brief area of time with the Waterford hurlers.
Fanning will lead the Deise into an Allianz HL semi-final battle with Galway in Nowlan Park tomorrow and Flannery has been impressed with what he has witnessed so far.
“Paraic bleeds blue and white, whether or not that be Mount Sion’s or Waterford’s,” he stated in an interview with the Irish Unbiased.
“And I feel someplace alongside the road, that does add somewhat bit, a Waterford man managing Waterford. Derek McGrath would have had that and Paraic has it now.
“And I feel any hesitation which may have been there initially from the county board has actually been dispelled. There do not appear to have been any difficulties within the change-over from one very specific regime to one thing that is somewhat bit totally different.
“Like I am not so certain the gamers might be having a barbecue at Paraic’s any time quickly. He is not that kind of man. And you understand he will not be quoting philosophers or poets, however he positively is aware of tips on how to converse hurling.
“He is made an excellent impression in a really brief time period.”
