Mighty Mullane has leading role in De La Salle’s passion play

WHEN the All Star hurlers for 2008 were announced I was surprised by the omission of Waterford’s John Mullane.

But, undeterred by the snub, Mullane has led his beloved De La Salle to their first county title and now has added the Munster title for good measure.

This is a phenomenal achievement by the Déise club and wouldn’t it be fantastic if they could win the All-Ireland title on St Patrick’s Day. While their successes are the result of a huge team effort and years of planning and coaching, all that is reflected in the performances of Mullane.
