Waterford U-21 boss may quit over footballers’ treatment

THE man who guided Waterford to an historic first Munster U-21 FC title last year has threatened to quit in a row over the treatment of football in the county.

Manager Pat Nugent is angered that the West Divisional Board refused his request to postpone their U21 decider last Saturday and by the subsequent late withdrawal of county hurler Michael Walsh from the panel, which he claims was on the “recommendation” of the senior management team.

Nugent has vowed to resign if his side loses to Kerry in tonight’s provincial semi-final in Killarney.
