Waterford ‘making progress’ in hurling manager search

Waterford are “making progress” in their search to find a new senior hurling manager, according to county board chairman Paddy Joe Ryan.

It is now over 10 weeks since Derek McGrath called time on his five-year tenure, but the post remains vacant after former Cork selector Pat Ryan and two-time All-Ireland winning Cuala manager Mattie Kenny, for various reasons, opted against succeeding McGrath.
