Mullane: veterans still have role to play
Last Sunday’s semi-final defeat to Kilkenny was swiftly followed by the expected speculation regarding the futures of leading lights like Tony Browne, Ken McGrath and, on this occasion, even Dan Shanahan.
“You can’t beat experience,” said Mullane who was collecting his second successive Opel player of the month award in Dublin, this time for July. “Look at that Kilkenny team, they had seven or eight lads over the age of 30. You can’t buy experience at this level especially for young fellas coming through. It’d be great to have the likes of Tony Browne and Ken McGrath and these lads around for their experience. It’s priceless really.”
