Young pretender Fitzy is ‘coolness personified’ for Bridge
For once however, it wasn’t for long-time hero Davy Fitzgerald, but a young pretender, Paul Fitzpatrick, late sub and scorer of the last-gasp point that takes The Bridge into the Munster final in two week’s time, against Mount Sion of Waterford in Thurles.
“That lad has more hurling in him”, the ‘old’ Fitzy explained about the new; “he was centre-back on our U-21 team, and he’d make nearly any senior club team in the country. There was pressure on him for that last point, but it didn’t matter, he’s just coolness personified, pressure would never bother that lad. If you watch his hurling, his touch is just fantastic, and when he got that ball, I had no doubt it was going over.”
