Davy Fitzgerald has been dividing opinion since the days of my childhood.

Derek McGrath’s musings on the weekend’s hurling.

When Dublin, trailing by three points, were awarded a free deep into injury-time at Parnell Park and centre-back Sean Moran strode forward, the mind was drawn back to Croke Park last year.

Dublin defender Sean Moran proved to be a last-action hero yet again for boss Mattie Kenny with a late, late goal at Parnell Park to secure a dramatic Leinster SHC draw.

Galway advanced to the semi-finals of the Allianz League thanks to an impressive display in the second-half when they were playing against the wind at Pearse Stadium.

First All-Ireland quarter-final win in five years. First time heading back to Croke Park in five years. Redemption for a Munster final that didn’t go to plan. Visible progress — at long, long last.

Cork star Conor Lehane will be fit for next month’s Munster SHC final with Clare.

Wexford have been dealt a blow ahead of Saturday’s Leinster semi-final against Kilkenny with the news that Liam Óg McGovern is suspected to have torn a cruciate ligament.

In the stand but making the most of it. Davy Fitzgerald is the subject of a forthcoming episode of RTÉ’s Living with Lucy and the Wexford boss took the chance to get some filming done yesterday.

It was 2013 when people began to realise how much of a young man’s game hurling had become.
