Ballygunner star displayed flashes of Ring, claims McCarthy

Cometh the hour, cometh the man, the saying goes. In a euphoric winning Waterford dressingroom on Saturday night there was unanimity on who that man was.

Enigmatic he can be at times, but when Paul Flynn is at the top of his form there are few more exciting or spectacular sights on the hurling field.

When team boss Justin McCarthy talks about Flynn’s display “being reminiscent of Christy Ring” then you have an insight into just how highly the Deise manager rated the Ballygunner star’s performance.
