Déise skipper Flynn rated doubtful for Tipp clash

WATERFORD skipper Paul Flynn remains a doubt for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Tipperary in Croke Park.

The Ballygunner club man is troubled by a thigh muscle problem which will require surgery when Waterford’s championship is over. He is rated less than a 50/50 chance of making the starting line-up.

His only competitive hurling in the qualifiers came in the closing quarter of the top-of-the-table clash with Galway at Walsh Park, where he scored a goal minutes after his arrival.
