McGrath's heroics honoured

WATERFORD'S Ken McGrath was at the centre of a neat little cameo yesterday as he accepted his Vodafone GAA Player of the Month Award for June.

McGrath and his team mates are big news in the Déise, and as he made his way to the reception in the Granville Hotel, he was stopped in his tracks by a family decked out in Waterford jerseys there to get McGrath’s autograph. He duly obliged.

“It has been like this ever since the Munster Final,” McGrath smiled. “Before, people would be walking the streets wearing football shirts from the likes of Manchester United or Liverpool, these days every where we go all we can see are Waterford jerseys.
