Flynn makes captain's debut against Limerick

PAUL FLYNN will make his debut as Waterford captain against Limerick on Sunday.

Flynn, a member of the side for 13 years, will lead the side out at Walsh Park in the first game of the new Waterford Crystal Tournament.

"It is a great honour to have been nominated by my club, Ballygunner, to captain the county team and I am really looking forward to what will be an historic personal first on Sunday," Flynn said. He is following in the footsteps of club colleagues Stephen Frampton and Fergal Hartley who have also skippered Waterford in the recent past, with Hartley leading the team to Munster championship glory in 2002 when the Decies regained the provincial title after 39 years.
