Déise bids farewell to loyal servant Mansfield

Tony Mansfield, whose death took place in Cork on Sunday at the age of 73, was a leading figure in Waterford GAA, a member of the squad which contested the All-Ireland hurling final of 1963 against Kilkenny and going on to manage the 1992 U21 team which won the county’s only national title in the grade.

He also had two spells as senior coach, being the last Waterford native to do so prior to Michael Ryan taking charge two years ago.

In his professional life, he was a full-time ATGWU union official.
