Owens reveals delight at Déise role
“I never expected the call telling me I was getting the Waterford football job, but I was thrilled at the news because I regard it as a very great honour,” said the former Tipperary star.
Owens revealed that he is no stranger to Waterford having worked as a financial controller in Ballymacarbery for the past 18-years. “During that spell I have followed the club scene in Waterford with great interest and have got to know a lot of players and officials. So it is not like I will be coming in stone cold.
