McCarthy delighted at Allstar boost

WATERFORD hurling boss Justin McCarthy has expressed his delight at eight of his charges getting an Allstar nomination.

It’s a tremendous boost for both the players themselves, the team and the county, and hopefully there will be a few on the actual team when it’s announced in due course,” McCarthy said.

“We have been out of the hurling limelight for years and winning the Munster championship this year gave everyone a huge lift. “We have a fantastic bunch of players totally committed to hurling, and it would be a wonderful achievement if we managed to get a couple of Allstars.
