Versatile coach Casey revelling in his De La Salle roots

PROUD Waterford man Mick Casey was part of the remarkable Wexford football odyssey last season, sharing the training and coaching duties with Jason Ryan.

Now, he’s living the real dream of seeing De La Salle embarking on an unexpected journey which they hope will earn them a place in the AIB All-Ireland club hurling final in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day.

He’s not just the team trainer, but also coaches — “most of the stuff is with the ball and hurley” — and helps out as physio.
