Kelly committed to Déise next season

WATERFORD hurling star Eoin Kelly has rubbished suggestions he will not be lining out for the county next season, saying he is looking forward to working with manager Davy Fitzgerald and his new selectors.

When Fitzgerald appointed Pat Bennett and Paraic Fanning as his selectors for the 2010 season, some observers anticipated friction between Fanning and Kelly.

Fanning was managing Mount Sion when Kelly was dropped for a Munster Club SHC game against Toomevara, and Kelly subsequently transferred from Mount Sion to Passage.
