Driving force Ken aims to stay a winning skipper

HIS captaincy tenure may be just a short one, but Ken McGrath has yet to skipper a losing Waterford senior hurling team.

Appointed captain following Mount Sion’s back-to-back county championship win last October, the former Allstar was subsequently sidelined with a recurring leg injury which kept him out of action for several months.

His club-mate and friend, Tony Browne, took over the captaincy for the first stage of the National League, in which Waterford recorded victories over Kilkenny, Laois and Dublin before losing their final two in the group against Galway and Clare.
