Paul Flynn wins hurler of year

WATERFORD’S most prolific scoring forward of the past decade, Ballygunner’s Paul Flynn, has been named the county hurler of the year.

Though ruled out of the county final through suspension after dismissal in a torrid semi-final against Lismore, Flynn has been superb at both club and county level throughout the year.

He starred in Waterford’s thrilling victory over Cork in the Munster final, and despite the All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Kilkenny, his 13-point haul earned him the RTE “Man Of The Match” accolade.
