Big Dan can get even better, says Justin

DAN SHANAHAN, Waterford’s sensational scoring machine, has the potential to become a truly great hurler.

That’s the tribute paid to the Lismore clubman by the Déise manager Justin McCarthy who described his in-form attacker as “a huge asset” to the recently-crowned Munster champions.

McCarthy was speaking at the presentation of the Park Hotel Waterford Sport Star Of The Month award for June to the man the fans affectionately call “Big Dan” and who has bagged an incredible six goals and four points against Clare, Tipperary, and Cork en route to Waterford’s second provincial title win in three years.
