Injured McGrath frustrated by supporting role

IT’S Munster hurling final week but not as Ken McGrath knows it. With all the extra hoopla that the 125 celebrations have generated, Sunday’s showpiece in Semple Stadium is eagerly awaited.

But, for Waterford’s talisman, the game will be a tormenting experience as injury restricts his role to watching from the stands.

A knee injury incurred against Limerick and a subsequent operation has wrecked McGrath’s summer plans and he has now targeted early August as his recovery date.
